LulzBot Mini User Manual

1.24. USING PRINTRUN
Motors off
The Mini 3D printer can be moved on all three axes independently. If you
would like to do so by hand, use the Motors off button to unlock all the
stepper motors. Once unlocked they can be moved by hand. Keep in mind
that there is no positional feedback, so if you move an axis you will need
to re-home in order to re-establish the hot end’s position.
mm/min XY:/ Z:
These settings control the manual jog speeds when driven with Pronterface.
Use caution when changing these figures. Moving the axes too fast can
cause the printer to miss steps. If that occurs with the Z axis, it can
potentially cause the Z axis to become out of square.
Homing
Caution: when homing, the axis will continue to move in the negative
direction until the end stop switch is activated. If the printer is ever
transported make sure the end stop switches are clear before resuming
printing. If an axis has missed an end stop and is continuing to try to
move in the negative direction, immediately turn the power switch to the
off position.
Each axes can be homed either individually or together. Press the Home
X button to move the X axis to the left until it activates the end stop. Once
the X axis end stop is activated, the X axis carriage will ’bounce’- it will
move over and move back to the home position more slowly. Press the Home
Y button to home the Y axis. The Y axis platform will move away from you
towards the rear of the printer. The Z home button functions the same,
but the Z trigger cannot be adjusted manually on the printer and uses the
automatic bed-compensating routine at the beginning of each print.
X/Y/Z Axes Movement Controls
Prior to moving the X, Y, or Z axis, make sure that you home each axis.
The X, Y and Z axes can be moved utilizing the circular movement controls.
Each axis can be moved in either fine moves or large moves, ranging from
0.1mm to 100mm. For example, to move the Y Axis towards you, move
your mouse to the +y section until both the +y and the 100 are highlighted
