Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarHmm, which one can you trust? 🥺
The calibration seems to be done with superglue. I have that. Lets see if it can be improved.
Many problems.
The bubble levels (Libellen [Dragonflies] in German) were only glued on one end, so they could also move.
And the black part was insufficiently glued with just one dot, so that moved.
And the aluminium wasn't attached at all, just kinda wobbling around the yellow plastic bit.
So I glued one half together to have a fixed edge to calibrate the bubbles against.
Superglue doesn't work too great on aluminium, so if it pops off I'll use some PU instead, but I locked it in around both edges so it might work.
The superglue-on-alu held fine.
Calibrating against a laser level. Its easier than a transparent hose with water. Glued down the bubble on one end, shaved away some plastic so the other can move a little, aligned roughly, add a drop of glue, align, let glue dry and re-check.
The horizontal bubble is correct now and nothing wobbles or moves anymore.
Just needs repeating for the other two.
What fun can be had by buying crap tools! 🤪

Large Format ProjectionistUnmet, you have despoiled the spirit level! You will never have level again!!!
😆
@Benhm3 I have its twin sibling, although they never agreed on what is level.
Domasla@yngmar
The lower one must be at sealevel, the upper overdoes earth rotation.
@domasla Perhaps a local gravitational anomaly.
Ernestas@yngmar rotate on a "flat" surface, measure with all sides rotated. So 4 measurements with EACH. The one showing the least deviation will be the most accurate.
They can both be crooked, they both can be crooked on different axis.
@ernestas @fliegerjohn Worse, they can be sometimes right and sometimes wrong because the bubble tube is loose 😬
fliegerjohn@yngmar use a flat table. Turn it 180°. If it's on both directions the same, you can trust that one.
Fish Id Wardrobe ⁂@yngmar wrong on so many levels…

Daniel Bohrer@yngmar I guess they both need new batteries… 🙃
(In German I would have said "neues Libellenwasser", not sure how to translate that 😄)
