Gap size
-
OK, I see so often the mention of using a piece of paper to set the gap between bed and nozzle, does anyone know the measurement in real time,
-
Depends on a lot of stuff. What weight paper are you using? How humid is it today? How long has the paper been sitting outside it's package? Here's a page I found that has common paper sizes and thicknesses.

It didn't really answer my question,but from reading your input, and the chart, it seems it is not a very accurate system.
-
Most home printers are made of stuff that changes shape due to temperature and humidity, so the paper thing really should be close enough.

MatterControl assumes your paper is 0.1 mm thick. You can adjust this under Settings > Printer > Print Leveling. If you are worried about accuracy, you could always use a proper feeler gauge.

Thanks, that is why I asked the question, I have a set of feeler gauges, and was wondering what the measurement is.
I still haven't got my printer back to a working stage, since the power supply blew up and took other parts along with it.
So just gathering info I can use once it is working again.
