Carriage Tolerances - Unusable Over Distance >75mm From Center

Just thought I’d share a picture of how I tram X now. This is fast and precise to do before I turn the machine on and home.

Yesterday I deliberately left it 0.01mm low on the close side, and I could easily slide the far block under X, but the close side was too tight and the block hit the side. On the touchscreen I raised the Z height by 0.1mm and was easily able to slide both blocks in. Not making any claims on exactly how precise this is, as I’m aware of a slight rotation in the Y modules relative to X. But, this can quickly get to better than .1mm, and likely better than that.
