| Re: 3d printer for rc parts The Z height needs to be as precise as you can get it, but sometimes it's hard to get all 4 corners 100% perfect, and to compensate you can set your slicer to extrude extra material on your first layer. I find that this also helps with bed adhesion. The only minor drawback is that you end up with a slight lip at the very bottom of your print, but a quick scrape with a hobby knife or sandpaper takes it away.

To flatten a plane it is easier to have 3 points, with 4 you are always off somewhere. I tried it with the stock plate as some did, I wasn’t happy, but the noisy bearings were a large part of switching back to stock. https://drmrehorst.blogspot.com/2017...point.html?m=1 Hang up and Drive | |

Both 4 pt and 3pt "leveling" have trade offs and strong points. However, bottom line is that trying stuff out is fun and full of learning so give it a try and report back. | |

Do you guys keep logs of your print jobs? If so what do you record in them?
