I was working on calibrating my 3d printer yesterday, and I kept getting errors of the probe samples being out of tolerance. The spread was from like .057 to .063 mm, and that was triggering a tolerance error. That's six microns. The typical "thickness of a human hair" measurement ranges between like 120 microns at the upper end down to 17 microns at the lower, and my machine was mad because when probing, there was 1/3 of that in variance. Fuck off.

@sexybenfranklin unless your 3d printer is extremely expensive i find it difficult to expect it has apparatus to repeatably measure with that sort of precision

@timmy This one has put me back about $2200 all told but yeah, definitely not. The probe is neat though, it's an eddy current sensor.
