Extended Z-homing spacer for Epax X1

thingiverse

This thing replaces the stock Z-homing trigger on the Epax X1, extending it by a bit over 2mm. This causes the plate to stop 2mm+ above the screen when homing. This enables you to install magnetic flex plates which add thickness to your build surface, without the plate crashing into your screen when it homes. IMPORTANT: The first time you install this, remove the vat and plate entirely. Home the machine. Now check if the build plate (with your flex plate installed) will slide on and clear the screen. If it does, continue and use this part. If not, your flex solution may be too thick, and you'll need an even longer z-trigger than this to avoid crashes into your screen at the beginning of a print. This was developed and tested working with the Wham Resin flex plate solution from Wham Bam Systems, on the original Epax X1. https://whambamsystems.com/fbs-for-resin This prints with no supports, in the orientation provided in the STL file.
