Sovol SV06 Z-Motor Alignment Block / Shim

These are just simple blocks you can shove behind your Z axis motors on the bottom side to true up the angle with the metal uprights. See photos for what I'm talking about. 

I noticed mine were greater than 90 degrees and this seems to have helped a little bit with the auto bed levelling which has not been putting down consistent first layers. Now this isn't a magic bullet, but it seems to have helped a bit.

Files:

1. Model files for the set of different widths I found useful.
2. A FreeCAD project file if you want a different range of width. All you have to do is edit the spreadsheet within it. Type in your desired minimum width, then it will make a block that width and 5 additional ones with increasing width by .1mm in each subsequent model.
3. An OpenSCAD file if you prefer that method. It lets you generate more blocks with a bit more flexibility regarding size & width increments. However, it won't include the fillets (rounded edges) because I'm not good enough at OpenSCAD to figure out how to do that!

• Filament: I used PLA but use whatever you want…probably not something soft though.
• Infill: I used 50% for strength.
• Walls: I used 4 for strength
• Supports: none

Installation Instructions:

Shove the dang thing into the little gap as seen. If it's too tight and you know you need that size, loosen the the screws on the opposite side of the aluminum extrusion just a tiny bit and keep trying until it scoots in. Then check with a square to see if it's 90 degrees or close enough to it for your liking. Good luck!
