[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Get an automatic bed leveler. My printer just sits there, covered. When I want something, I uncover it, clean the printing surface with some alcohol, and tell it to print. By the way, resin printers have a completely different set of issues. But yeah, they don't have those ones. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] FredericChopin_@feddit.uk 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I have one of those servo sensors that use a microswitch at the end. The printer has a sturdy frame build from extruded aluminum. That probably makes a lot of difference. I can take the printer, move it into some other surface, turn it on and print, without leveling issues. Before it I had a wooden one without autoleveling. That one needed leveling before each print. permalink fedilink source parent
