DIY Three Axis Zero Plate?

[rb99]

Has anyone figured out how to make a 3 axis Z zero plate? (I would love a pre-made one but at $250 USD it would cost me about $430 Canadian with exchange, fees, taxes.)

Thanks

Many of us have done this using a copper pipe cap imbedded in a jig… should be many posts and sample code here on the forum…

can't find the original post on SB forum for this one:

It was only $30 + shipping, you might try contacting him thru Etsy and see if he still sells them.
