Before I reinvent the wheel...

Post by Lasivian »

Does anyone know precisely how much "gap" 1/4, 1/2, or 1 full turn of the endstop screw is?

I am guessing someone out there good at math can probably figure this out.

Thanks

Well, I can just use my gap check tools when I get home, but I figured someone already knows.

If I am understanding correctly...

1 full turn should be 1/TPI I think the Threads per inch are 32

Yep, they're 6-32 screws, so one full turn is 1/32nd of an inch.
