Step 06.10 — Park the four lower joints at a matched height¶
Step 10 of 42 with a helper · Chapter 06 — Z axis (and Chapter 06b — Gantry squaring)
Parts:
- Rubber rail stopper ×4 · the Z rails
- the four
z_rail_stop_x4on the rail tops, if fitted · already on the bench
Do:
- Move each Z carriage to mid-rail; screw a rubber stopper into the free rail hole directly under it.
- Use the same hole from the same end at all four corners.
- Confirm a
z_rail_stop_x4caps each rail top.
Check
Deck-to-joint-top height at all four corners is within ~1 mm, and each carriage stops on its rubber stopper when pushed down.
Helper Reads the rule at all four corners and calls out any joint that sits higher.
What you're looking at
A rubber rail stopper screws into a free rail hole and blocks the carriage. Screwed in directly under each lower joint it becomes a shelf, so all four joints park at the same height. The printed z_rail_stop_x4 does the same job at the rail top.
Good stopping point · ~25 min since the last one
four lower Z joints on the Z carriages and parked at a matched height. Do not attempt the gantry lift until your second person is there: the next segment is one unbroken two-person move.
