This procedure must be done in a place with normal room temperature around 21°C/69°F.
Do not touch the nozzle or heatbed during this process until the process is fully finished as it
will reach high temperatures!
Once calibrated, your PINDA probe will be comparing its data readings under different
temperatures and also, on top of that, it will include your Live Z data. This should help you to
have a stable Live Z.
Nevertheless, make sure that your 1st layer is done properly. More about that in 6.3.10.
Fine-tuning the first layer
8.3 View XYZ calibration details (Optional)
This feature can be found in Support -> XYZ cal. Details and provides access to more
detailed info about XYZ calibrating results. The 1st screen tells you the distance of the
“perfect” position of your two front calibration points. Ideally, all of these are positive and at
least 10 mm or more. When you get your axes perpendicular or slightly skewed,
nothing needs to be tweaked because the printer will perform with the best accuracy.

Pressing the button will get you to the 2nd screen. This screen will identify how far you are
from the perfect perpendicularity. It is measuring the skew of your X/Y axis.

8.4 Linear Advance (Experimental)
Linear advance is a new technology which predicts the pressure build-up in the extruder
when printing at higher speeds. Firmware of the printer uses that prediction to decrease the
amount of filament extruded just before stopping and decelerating, which prevents blobs or
artifacts at the sharp corners.
If you are using different slicers from Slic3r PE or PrusaControl, or you just want to
tweak and play around with different values, you can manually change the settings
