Homebrew PCBs

many printers have a lever to adjust height. If that can be kept in a  
working state it can solve the problem.

"Back then" when i did that useless HP conversion i simply planned on  
putting another PCB below the one to be printed. If i wanted to print 1mm  
this shim PCB would be 0.5mm, for 0.5mm 1mm.
