4.3. Commissioning and Connecting the Printer
Do not connect the device to its power supply before having aligned the frame
and print bed. & Chap. 4.4 Aligning / Leveling Bed and Frame
4.4. Aligning / Leveling Bed and Frame
The BigRep ONE must be aligned to ensure that the distance between the print
bed and the extruder is consistent.
Please note that there is a dierence between aligning the frame, aligning the
print bed (leveling) and adjusting the distance between nozzle and bed:
› The frame must be aligned/re-aligned mechanically before initial commis-
sioning and aer any transport. It will be done by BigRep service person-
nel during set-up.
› Bed leveling should be done aer transportation or if the leveling needs to
be improved. It can be done by the user with the BigRep User Interface.
› Adjusting the distance between nozzle and bed must be done by the user
aer replacing the extruder or hotend and aer any relocation of the print-
er.
Aligning the Frame and Gantry
Before initial use and aer transport, the device must be leveled at the vertically
adjustable machine base (G) using a spirit level.
To change the height and for horizontal alignment, adjust the idler wheel at the
machine base as shown in (Fig. 4-2) and check the frame’s horizontal alignment
with a spirit level (Fig. 4-3)
Initial commissioning (service setup) of the BigRep ONE may only be per-
formed by personnel trained for this purpose by BigRep.
