Note: Tool required: 2.5mm Allen key
The print head angle may be used to adj
ust print quality. In most cases the
default head position is suitable but for high-speed applications increasing
the angle may help. Conversely, for slow applications reducing the angle
may increase print quality.

side of the print head angle block, the default is 27°.
