We print a lot of multi-part products over a number of different printers. Califlower has enabled us to reduce fit tolerances on our designs from 0.4mm to 0.15mm. This is an absolutely essential calibration tool if dimensional accuracy is an important aspect of your workflow.
Hello
I have an A1 mini printer from Bambulab and Orcaslicer. I did not understand your tutorial.
It would be good to describe precisely step by step or enter codes etc..
For a beginner, it's a pain to spend hours understanding nothing!
If you are printing technical parts and want them to be accurate, you need to calibrate your printer well.
Among many other things, this tool is simply a must!
A good service and dispatched in a timely manner.
I've been having issues with mechanical parts not fitting together and overall tolerances being bad. I followed the guide and did a first print, and a validation print, and I haven't had tolerance issues since.
I don't know which was more satisfying building the VLMP2 or using it. Yes a simple soldering iron will do the job but this press does it perfectly and safely. I don't have to worry about where to put the hot iron while prepping the next piece and every insert goes in straight. The open storage trays are a useful addition and handy for holding inserts while the covered trays hold the various sized insert tips. Really glad I got this as it's opening up a whole new raft of possibilities in my 3D printing.
It is just so comforting knowing that there are tools like this that can help even a new person to better tune and calibrate our printers. Thanks!
The print stls are very well made, the quality of the printed parts looks very good and fitted my Bambu mini plate.
The press works like a charm, it looks good and it is easy to install. Ok let's say easy to medium, it depends on how good are your skills with such things. The only bad thing I can say, it is that I couldn't get all the accent filament inside the lines, I think the problem is on how the lines were made by the printer, but I don't know how to make it work because I am a newbie. More details on printing the base would have been very useful. Thank you for the product!
It's lightweight, looks quality made, heats up fast.
It works with usb-c cable.
There isn't anything bad to say as the price to quality ratio is very good.
Item was as described and a decent priced genuine article that was was carefully packed in a strong box and included padding, quickly delivered, recommended seller.
Such a well thought out design. The documentation is great and i love the fact that you can tune the counterweight to your preference.
My printer (Creality K1C) does not save "SKEW_PROFILE SAVE=calilantern_skew_profile". After the "SAVE_CONFIG" command, the printer shuts down and then restarts. If I then start a new print, the entry "skew_correction: Load failed, unknown profile [calilantern_skew_profile]" appears in the console. I entered the command "SKEW_PROFILE SAVE=calilantern_skew_profile" again and started a print without prior "SAVE_CONFIG", the error message "skew_correction: Load failed, unknown profile [calilantern_skew_profile]" no longer appears in the console messages.
Press is easy to assemble using the guide. Vert concise and easy to understand. Well written.
My printer Kreality K1C does not respond to the changes made, although the corresponding program lines are contained in the printer.cfg. Start and end G codes have also been added accordingly. There were no instructions in the ZIP file that I was able to download. A 36-page PDF manual was promised.
Hi Norbet,
There are two downloads for item. One contains the calculator, other other is a PDF instruction manual. The download provider we use indicates that you have downloaded the calculator, but not downloaded the guide. I recommend check then downloads section again, you can login to access this.
If you're having further trouble there are options for additional support such as via the discord.
Hopefully we can get this sorted for you so you can join the many users with successful calibration.
The CXC camera is a really good tool for alignment, and also checking for things like Backlash - it would be nice though if the lights in particular could be switched off and one more easily than unplugging the tool.
Took me about an hour to put it together with my PLA printed parts. The instructions from Ajax were spot on, and the YouTube video from Greg’s Maker Spacer was a nice confirming adjunct. Very nice and satisfying build.
The ZIP file that I was able to download after purchase did not contain the promised 36-page instruction
Very happy with this calibration tool. It takes some time to print. It takes time to measure but very pleased with the results :)
