this post triggered me so much I went and thought about it.
the real boomer way to calibrate your printer is to mount your daddy's ancient starrett test indicator to the toolhead, preheat the enclosure, mark the measurements with a paper and pencil, transfer the measurements onto isometric grid paper and interpolate with a ruler (or drafting curves) and then put the information into an envelope and mail it to your friend Scott, who lives in silicone valley and owns a Macintosh personal computer. Also, your printer has to be connected to the phone line, which is how you get the gcode.
I thought about it at length and this is a reasonable amount of effort that a boomer would expend. Also, unlike the other suggestions, it's more accurate than a klicky so you can maintain the theoretical moral high ground whilst you complain about zoomers.

>what's wrong with your mouse
the g pro wireless? it's nearly perfect, except the scroll button click is fucked. The wheel sticks out so far that sideways pressure pulls it off the microswitch. Not a problem for league of Lol but it's unusuable in CAD software obviously since the middle clicks are worth more than most newlyweds firstborns. Gaymer optimization sucks but at least it resulted in good everything else.
>ok but why u don't use computer mouse to jog CNC macheen??/
same reason you don't use a mouse to play street fighter you fucking ignoramus
