I would take the Glowforge over a 3D printer any day. Much higher value.
If you plan to do a lot of this, this aluminum tape is perfect for putting on the surface you are probing. I use it for a lot of things where I...
I have the Uno with the DQ542MA drivers OpenBuilds used to sell on one machine and use Estlcam on that one. I went with the Backbox on my rotary...
I use estlcam with an Arduino uno, but I did not use the shield. If you want to use the shield, get the real one from Protoneer. The cheap crappy...
Google Vermont Gage for dimensionally accurate rods. If you have a Grainger nearby, you can get them in many sizes. I have the 0.2500" pin....
I hold it because I want to be absolutely sure it is tight against the stock material so my XY zero point is accurate.
I see 2 motors on the Y axis, 1 motor on the X and 1 on the Z. Y axis in front to back, X axis is side to side, Z axis is up and down. [ATTACH]...

I will edit the post. Thanks.
Another thing to note, in your basic settings tab, make sure you choose the Z axis origin to what you prefer. Top of workpiece, or machine bed....
Use grbl. Here are my settings on the Lathe using all OpenBuilds components. It is 1000mm along X. My Y axis is normally a rotary, but I added...
I did grbl. I believe. I will run out and look. It will take a few minutes.
1) Under the set-up tab "basic settings" pick your G-code "flavor." I chose grbl. [ATTACH] 2) Under Set-up tab "program settings, chose what you...
