Does commercial PolyJet use spring-based bed leveling like FDM, or rigid leveling systems?
​
I’ve built a custom PolyJet-style machine myself, and I’m currently struggling with bed leveling stability. Right now I’m using a spring-based leveling system similar to what’s commonly used in FDM printers, but I’m seeing fluctuations during operation—likely due to vibration or compliance in the springs.
My question is:
Do commercial PolyJet machines (e.g., from Stratasys) use any kind of compliant (spring-based) bed leveling system at all, or are they fully rigid—like precision-ground stages or fixed kinematic mounts?
