4.4.8 Automatic calibration
The Automatic calibration protocol is not compatible with the HD Camera toolhead,
Photocuring toolhead, Thermoplastic Printhead or EMD Printhead. If one of these toolheads
is connected to the BIO X6 when performing Automatic calibration, you can choose to
calibrate them manually.
The Automatic Bed Levelling (ABL) probes the bed at three points to enable bed-levelling
compensation. It uses a matrix to compensate for tilt in the bed or print surface. It is
recommended to perform ABL when printing large models or when using well plates as the
printing surface.
The surface probe only needs to be calibrated once, the printer will then remember this
calibration and apply it for each coming printing. However, the ABL should be enabled before
each printing since it compensates not only the bed but also if the print surface is tilted.
To perform automatic calibration, you must first attach the surface probe to the printhead
connector body and the metal reflectors to the printbed. Tap Continue to proceed.
