- hathawsh 4y agoThe thickness of typical copy paper in the US is 0.1 mm. I measure it by measuring the height of a ream (500 sheets) and dividing by 500. This bit of trivia turns out to be rather helpful for 3D printing. Also, 0.005 inches = 0.127mm, so we're talking about slightly more tolerance than the thickness of copy paper.
- skybrian 4y agoHow do you use this in 3D printing?
- r2_pilot 4y agoIt's helpful to know how high above the print bed to print, so you can slide a piece of paper freely underneath the nozzle while only just feeling a tiny bit of drag from the nozzle. That way you have enough space to put your material down.
