5th Generation Replicator Build Plate Stablizers

It goes without saying that a 3D printer build plate must be level to print well and, for ease of levelling, most build plates are spring mounted. However, this also means any pressure on the build plate during levelling / homing / positioning and particularly printing can cause up / down build plate movement. Obviously movement in the build plate is a necessary evil as it is required for levelling but can also have an number of adverse affects

Having developed a solution to overcome this on a Replicator 2 this is the same solution made for a 5th Generation Replicator. If you have a 5th Generation Replicator and aren t sure if you could benefit from this just push down on each corner of your build plate one at a time... you will get a lot of springy movement on the front left and even more on the back left in particular.

This solution is all about allowing5th Generation Replicator users to level as usual, through adjusting the spring mounted build plate but, once levelled
