Triple Z Setup
A perfectly levelled print surface becomes more challenging as the size of the build plate
increases. With the Maxwell coupling applied to the Z-axis by adding a third axis and mounting it
with a Maxwell coupling mechanism which provides unconstrained mounting points. The Z-axis
leveling routine is implemented with the RepRap firmware on a Duet Wifi or Duet 3 Mainboard.
Bed Leveling
Bed leveling is necessary in order to print large objects. Mesh bed leveling creates a virtual grid
of the print bed. As the layers are printed the motors will lower and raise the nozzle while
printing to compensate for the uneven locations on the build plate. Auto Bed Leveling is a
function of the Duet 2 board itself.

Triplez Mechanism
The advantage of triplez is the additional degree of freedom which allows radial movement and
bed leveling. With small springs on corners and the bed fixtures of the bed. Due to thermal
expansion the aluminium plate just loses the frame.
Triple Z bed leveling using the Kinematic coupling for bed leveling and mounting.
Wider belts are more rigid and reduce artifacts caused by the elasticity of the belt itself. The
artifacts in prints look like the pitch of the belt itself. In addition, increasing the size of the pulleys
will reduce ringing and artifacts.
