Improvements from the previous generation:
Filament spools from different manufacturers are not uniform.
Therefore, this improved version allows for Z-height adjustment.
Place the tool on the AMS cover,
as shown below:
First time use:
Calibrate the tool height.
Load a brand new filament spool.
Adjust the height.
Align the two red circles marked "FULL" with the filament.
Tighten the screw.
The filament must be neatly aligned.
If not, the filament spool will appear larger.
This leads to inaccurate estimations.
As shown below, an unaligned spool appears larger than a neatly aligned one.
Left: Unaligned; Right: Aligned
(Both are brand new spools)
Tool Usage Tips:
Viewing angles that are too high or too low
will cause significant errors.
As shown below:
When the black line is above,
it indicates the viewing angle is too low.
When the white line is higher than the black line,
it indicates the viewing angle is too high.
Adjust your viewing height so that the black and white markers and the filament
form a straight line.
