Magnet insertion during pause... safe for bed calibration?
A little over a year ago david.b14 wrote on these forums that inserting magnets into your prints may be a bad idea:
Seeing as the mk3 uses magnets to secure the print surface, I am wondering if this could still be an issue. Can we get an official answer?
Cheers!
Re: Magnet insertion during pause... safe for bed calibration?
official answers are few and far between, at the moment...
magnetising the probe points is a nonsense, you will always have a steel sheet in the way, when printing...
the heater clamp screw and to a lesser degree, the thermistor grub screw, might be more of a problem..., and if you have one, a hardened steel nozzle.
I try to make my magnets tight and deep in their holes, and add a drop of superglue to hold them still as the extruder passes over them... so that the magnets do not try to flip out and stick to the extruder...
