Comment on Reviewing the cheapest 3D printer on AliExpress
thantik@lemmy.world 7 months agoHe used to be an Audio engineer at either Harman Kardon or Bose, if I remember correctly. After only about a year of youtube, he was able to hire a guy from our community (Nils) to help him with videos, and I think after 2 years or so, surpassed his salary as an audio engineer.

The concept of the e-leveler is perfectly valid, I’ve used both a BLtouch and a dial indicator to basically do the same trimming setup multiple times, it’s just hilarious how visibly old school and bare bones he designed it to be and then he dares to ask $25 for one.
You could literally cobble one together from parts for less than a dollar in five mimutes…

You can find a piece of paper in your house anywhere basically for free. They’re held to a pretty tight 0.08mm thickness, and given how little leveling actually plays a part in a successful print, it really is a swindle.
I run a 3D printer repair shop in Central Florida, and 99/100, a customers “leveling issue” is a hotend flow issue, or a machine assembly issue instead.

Yeah, the e-leveler is a voron/klippy tap with extra steps.
