Leveling the build plate.. using a feeler gauge..??

[cerriousdesign]

I was having trouble leveling the build plate and remembered about using a feeler gauge to level a rolling mill. This worked supremely well. Thought I would share. I bought mine here.. http://www.harborfreight.com/32-piece-s ... 32214.html

I dunno maybe that is not working, its still leaking in.. The Gap between the red spacer and the build plate has to be completely level right?

Yea I gave up trying to use a feeler guage, it seemed like a good idea. Apparently you just have to sit down and work with the screws until you get it just right. I got tired of using resin and just used water for the build plate calibration. That was sooooo much easier. I just got my first print, the stl calibration solid turned out perfect. Now how do I get it off the build plate, lol.

Here's my print.. Pretty happy with it.

A trick is using the opacity of the resin as an indicator. If you look at the build plate by looking through the mirror you can see how even the liquid layer is.
