Hey guys, love the podcast! Leveling - Spring, silicone spacers, wheel locks, use a piece of paper, use a feeler gauge, etc.... for those of us that don't have a BambuLab printer or some machine that auto-levels for you in that there are NO leveling wheels to adjust, what is your guys' step-by-step process for getting a good level? Set Z-height, manual level, auto level? Use a piece of paper to gauge height? Keep the springs or swap them out for silicone spacers? There are a lot of "recommendations" on the interwebs when it comes to this and I'd love your take on it.
My workplace has a Prusa Mk2.5s that we can use for personal projects. I recently printed a set of inserts for my router table plate. Getting their height extremely accurate is important, and I've found that the prusa is consistently printing thing about .003" thicker than designed. The ID of the holes in the center of the part is consistently.004" undersized. Is this level of accuracy acceptable for a printer like this? What kinda of things can I do tune it? Should I just account for it in my designs? Or am I being too damn picky?
