Overlooked sensor calibration for months... then a minor drift caused a major misalignment

I've started mandatory bi-weekly checks now... the difference in precision is night and day. Don't wait for a failure to prompt action.

Omg, that hits close to home. It's wild how a tiny drift can totally wreck your setup over time. Bi-weekly checks are such a smart call, and the precision jump must feel amazing. I've seen similar slip-ups where procrastination leads to a massive headache later. Your post is a solid nudge to prioritize those routine calibrations before they spiral.

How maddening is it when a small oversight snowballs like that? Glad you've got a system now to catch it early.

Overconfidence breeds those tiny, costly oversights.

Truth is, skipping calibration is a gamble with precision. Those tiny drifts build up silently until everything is off. Setting rigid check intervals turns potential disasters into minor adjustments.
