This is one of my first M2 oriented designs. It has been a great help when adjusting the z axis and leveling the bed.

Got a picture of this puppy in use?

Sure.

Keeeewwwl!

(Dang it - just realized that isn't going to work with a dual. Bummer! Nice job though!)

While it's awesome you made this part -- it's completely irrelevant for the V4 (which you have).

Retract the filament from the hotend, heat the hotend & bed, loosen the nozzle clamp, push the nozzle down a millimeter or so (just to get it loose in the holder and feed it out some), home Z with your software, and tighten the nozzle clamp again.

Don't forget the feeler gauge......'specially if you are using a Zebra plate - which will melt if you touch it with the hot nozzle. (Ask me how I know).

Odd that this never occurred to me. It's almost too simple.

MakerGear REALLY needs to either advertise this feature of the V4, or correct me from advertising it for them.
