Anet A8 Z Axis Leveling Tool by cogsy

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I designed this as a fast printing tool to level the Z Axis steppers specifically for the Anet A8 as the only tool I could find was too short to use on my machine. Simply slip the tool over the Y Axis 8mm rod on one side and wind the stepper down til it rests on the top of the tool. Repeat for the other side and both steppers will be equal. Better yet - it's such a quick print, just print 2 of them and do both sides at the same time for better, easier and faster levelling.
In the picture you can see I'm using 2 of them, and I use the back of the bed to make sure they're both in line with each other for best accuracy.
If your steppers have gotten out of alignment you may need to re-level your bed after you level the steppers as well.
This is my very first design so I'd really like to hear any and all feedback - Thanks!
