is perfectly horizontal, 2) the print nozzle is in a known distance from the print bed. In case
the Z carriage did not touch the end stoppers, the printer could not possibly know the height
of the print nozzle above the print bed and it could therefore crash into the print bed during
the first round of the X/Y calibration procedure.
The XYZ calibration procedure also prompts you to "Please
clean
the
nozzle
for
calibration.
Click
when
done."
If this advice is not followed and there is a plastic debris on the print nozzle, then the debris
may touch the print bed or even push the print bed away from the PINDA probe, so the
PINDA probe will not trigger properly and the calibration will fail.
After the calibration is passed, the values can be reviewed for tweaking later. When you get
your axes perpendicular or slightly skewed, nothing needs to be tweaked as printer will
perform with the best accuracy. Learn more in chapter 8.3 View XYZ calibration details
(Optional) under 8 Advanced calibration.
6.3.5.1 Calibrate XYZ error messages and resolution (kit only)
1) XYZ
calibration
failed.
Bed
calibration
point
was
not
found.
Calibration routine did not find a bed sensor point. The printer stops close to the bed
point, which it failed to detect. Please verify, that the printer is assembled correctly,
that all axes move freely, the pulleys do not slip and the print nozzle is clean. If
everything looks good, re-run the X/Y calibration and verify with a sheet of paper
between the nozzle and the print bed that the print nozzle does not touch the print
bed during the calibration routine. If you feel a friction of the nozzle against the sheet
of paper and the nozzle is clean, you need to screw the PINDA probe slightly lower
and re-run the X/Y calibration.
2) XYZ
calibration
failed.
Please
consult
the
manual.
The calibration points were found in positions far from what should be expected for a
properly assembled printer. Please follow the instructions of case 1).
3) XYZ
calibration
ok.
X/Y
axes
are
perpendicular.
Congratulations!
Congratulations, you built your printer precisely, your X/Y axes are perpendicular.
4) XYZ
calibration
all
right.
X/Y
axes
are
slightly
skewed.
Good
job!
Good job, the X/Y axes are not precisely perpendicular, but still quite all right. The
firmware will correct for the X/Y skew during normal printing, so boxes will be printed
with right angles.
