My take on FlashForge Dreamer Z-axis shim. This one is bolted down for stability using two existing M3-0.5 x 8 mm socket head screws. You may need a shim if you increase the thickness of your build plate (for example, by installing a glass plate over it).
I have uploaded 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm shims. Normally. you do not need to be exact with a shim, as build plate leveling screws have long travel, so as long as you select a shim that gets you "mostly there", you can later fine tune the plate with the leveling screws. However, shall you require a shim of a different thickness, CAD link is provided.
Printing
This is a small part, be mindful of overheating. Notice that I printed a tall skirt (as tall as the part) to distribute the heat. The raft was used mainly to hold the skirt in place.
Installation
It helps to have a ballpoint 2.5 mm allen wrench (like the one that came with the Dreamer), since the screws are in tight places, and this kind of wrench can be inserted at an angle. Installation is shown in the pictures.
