I’m new here and haven’t actually built mine yet…so bear with me…
Is getting the spindle perpendicular with the work surface what’s important first? Or is getting it perpendicular with the X gantry what matters?
With a 3D printer, I am usually trying to get my bed(work surface) parallel with my X because there is no re-surfacing, but my understanding is that the surfacing of the spoil board will take care of making the work surface parallel to the X/perpendicular to the spindle…
So prior to surfacing the spoil board, should the goal be to make the spindle perpendicular to the X plane of travel, which in turn should make the bottom surface of the tool parallel to the X?
Then re-surfacing the spoil board would then fix the work surface to be smooth with no lines, as well as parallel to X and perpendicular to the spindle as well?
I’m just trying to make sure I understand correctly so that when it comes time to do mine I will know why I’m doing what I’m doing.
