People Moai Leveling Tool

thingiverse

This is a tool I made to help with the leveling of the People Moai STL Printer. It helps in 2 ways. In the initial leveling procedure, you lower the build plate, then turn the vat adjustment knobs until you see the vat start to move. With this indicator it is very easy to see the movement. When fine tuning using the four corner post method, the indicator helps you see the direction and amount of travel. I printed out the mm scale, cut it out and then using adhesive spray affixed it to all four corners of the VAT carriage. The indicator is uses a standard push pin as its pointer. A drop of glue secures the pin. It is held in place by a 1/4 super magnet. Its very stable I just move it to the corner Im working on, although you could easily print 4 and leave them or glue them in place. Let me know how this works for you and I'm open to any suggestions!
