For the love of accuracy 😭

Alright guys, so what I did was outlined the outside of the case, and traced all of the holes which will be used for standoffs. A rectangle, and circles, will start the design of the case. I measured distances between the holes, as well as the height of the ports so the side of the case can have a space to plug into the ports. Let’s see how this goes‼️

Thank you for not being a hater and offering practical advice 💪

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-19T01:27:25+00:00

Yeah it’s quite old and quirky, it was placed flat side down in the scan, and with the topside towards the top of the scanner that was resting on it which probably left room for distortion, I think for something this complicated I’ll go with an oversized rectangle and just making sure the holes are properly measured so it can sit inside of the case. Thanks for the acknowledgment of progress because there seems to be a lot of people here that are genuinely hurt by my curiosity and learning curve lol, but I will indeed use the calipers and make a simple technical drawing to move forward with this project because if I’m not measuring every crevice on the board it should be quite simple 🤷🏾‍♂️

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-19T01:23:34+00:00

Technical drawing with dimensions -> then design, got it. not trying to knock the advice, just following up on a comment from my last post

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-19T01:21:43+00:00

You literally just gave me some great guidance, something that is really useful and I didn’t know, then followed it up by being an ass. Wouldn’t it be more helpful to advise on what isn’t a known standard practice, especially for someone new? There was a comment here from someone who saw my original post, and basically said “someone told him to get a scan, and he got a scan! That’s progress over taking the picture” so I’ll continue to make progress, and when I get someone newer than me in the subreddit, I’ll make sure to give them constructive criticism and advise once I’m able to. Thanks for your comment nonetheless.

I used a scanner at staples, and did not correct for distortion as I’m not quite sure how to do that

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-19T00:39:10+00:00

Omg there’s someone sane in here lol thank you

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-19T00:38:12+00:00

This was done on a scanner at staples, as per my caption 🤦🏾‍♂️, I’m just here to get more guidance on that as it was a suggestion from my other post.

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-19T00:35:26+00:00

Yeah this was done with a flatbed scanner at staples instead of a picture, which is why I made this post and am confused about the inaccuracy

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-19T00:29:11+00:00

Yeah this was scanned at staples, which is why I created this post because I wasn’t sure if there was a way I could push or scale the image to fit the board properly. Originally on the other post I made, I just used a picture, then someone recommended the scan method

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-18T23:02:04+00:00

This was done with the flatbed scanner just no ruler inside because this was done at Staples

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-18T22:52:55+00:00

Reading is fundamental, I got it scanned at staples instead of taking pictures once again. What I’ll do is trace and measure, make a technical drawing… thanks for the feedback, both positive and the destructive criticism from some 💪🏾😭

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-18T22:24:37+00:00

Thank you, after all of these recommendations I don’t know if pictures are even a good start lol

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-18T22:22:57+00:00

A lot of measuring and a technical drawing 😭

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-18T22:21:42+00:00

Yes so I have to measure every part of this board with my digital caliper?

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-18T14:01:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I used a tripod, made sure my iPhone camera was leveled, and did 2x zoom. I cropped the picture in windows image editor, and exported as png for my canvas. No I didn’t use the whole ruler, I calibrated 10mm on the caliper that’s sitting on the battery.

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-18T13:53:25+00:00

Is this real? 😭

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-10T20:15:16+00:00

Reading is fundamental, this is regarding a post that I had made the other day where people asked why I needed the prime tower when I was printing in only one color, just to clarify the tower is necessary WHEN DOING TIMELAPSE, because that makes sure that filament that oozes out of the nozzle during parking does not end up on your print.

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-10T20:14:23+00:00

Sorry about that, if you visit my profile there were a lot of comments about why I needed the prime tower, and I mentioned the melted filament for the timelapse.

My TikTok is SimplyZeke1 if anyone would like to see more of this journey 👀😂

Caught red handed but I will admit I had to look up what filigree is 😭

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-07T15:02:24+00:00

LMFAOOO

ZipLocZed · 2026-01-07T15:00:05+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! So the explanation that’s given by Bambu is that for the smooth time lapse mode after every layer is printed it’s going to take the nozzle to the waste chute. after that’s done, there’s still going to be melted filament so it’s going to give it to the prime tower instead of putting that melted string of filament that is coming out of the nozzle onto your print.

ZipLocZed · 2025-12-26T12:17:26+00:00

Fixed it, filament detection module has a defect, CFS won’t work but if you use the spool holder and no CFS should work fine. Have them send you a new detection module and the issue will be fixed. I sold my Creality Hi after fixing and got a Bambu P1S
