Useful for finding the right distance of the Super PINDA from the print bed. The optimal distance for the Super PINDA is about 1.5mm. That should get your optimal Live Z/first layer calibration to somewhere around -1.00, so you'll have plenty of wiggle room for fine-tuning up and down. Most credit cards/zip ties are too small to find that ideal height.

Remix of With_Maltodextrin's model, which in turn was inspired by my original version. This version is thicker than With_Maltodextrin's version, to make it easier to insert and remove from the 3030 extrusion.

I have mine mounted on the Z axis of the Mini and the Y axis of the Mk3S.

Prints without supports, 0.2 or 0.3 mm, standing up.

NOTE: From the comments you can see that for some it comes out at exactly 1.5mm, for others closer to 1.4 or 1.6, depending on your printer's calibration, settings, etc. In the end, it doesn't matter if the distance is exactly 1.5 mm. Either way, it will bring you into the right ballpark, and it's a lot better than zip ties or credit cards with ill-defined heights.
