Someone asked for a shorter version. This version only sticks out 40mm from the Z support.

If you don't know if you have this issue just take a look under the electronics box from the front. It was noticeable on mine that it wasn't level.

Attach to the 3030 aluminium extrusions using two M5 x 12 mm hexagon head cap screws and T nuts.

See attached Figure for what this tries to fix:

Extrusion A is used to connect the Z axis arm C. The Z axis arm is off center from the Connection point on A and has a decent amount of weight. This causes it to sag at point B. This in turn causes a change where Z axis is no longer 90deg from point A. This angle offset will translate into a difference between Z1 and Z2 between the extruder and build plate.

 

You should be able to print this version without supports.  I added cutouts on the top of the recessed hole to enable printing.
