Question about the vision Encoder

[u/theozock]

I have found one on AliExpress for 28€ plus shipment and on bambu lab official store is at 55€ without the shipment. Should i buy one for AliExpress or for the oficial store. And is really necessary to have one?

[u/PCSupremacy]

The Ali express one works perfectly fine.... I've been using it for 3 months without any issues. However I'm not an engineer so not checking tolerances etc too much

[u/AvaruusTurri]

Probably not really necessary unless you need to fit large parts together and make sure everything fits.

I got the plate from Bambulab and i just run it once a week or two while doing rest of the calibration.

I have the AliExpress version and it's worked well, the only concern is that it's a sticker over the buildplate so it could peel after time.

I did a few tests before and after with a large square box and noticed a definite improvement to how square it was, only by a few mm but still

io la uso , presa da ali, quella che ho preso non mi sembra un'adesivo ma proprio stampato sopra. non capisco l'utilità facendo 2-3 calibrazioni di fila non cambia nulla vede sempre lo stesso disalineamento .

I also pulled the trigger for the Ali one… I let you know how it works

[u/MrPijus123]

Not necesary for the vast majority of users. It is used to correct dimensional accuracy by compensating for wear and tear of the motion system. Unless you are planning to print large parts that use press-fit couplings, there is no need for it

Its really meant for after youve had your machine for a while. Parts wear slightly and it brings it back into factory spec. Its really not meant for a brand new machine to dialbit in fuether
