Calibration
How it works
The heated bed and the PEI glass platform on it are the basis for the formation of prints. By
leveling the heated bed, you can ensure that the print adheres smoothly to the PEI glass platform.
By calibrating the Z-axis offset, you can ensure that the left and right printheads always work
at the correct and consistent height during printing, avoiding problems such as poor first-layer
adhesion, nozzle scraping the platform, and head bumping.
By calibrating the XY axis offset, it can ensure that the left and right extruders always keep
the correct relative position in the horizontal direction during the printing process, so as to
avoid problems such as staggered layers between different materials.
You will need to recalibrate in the following scenarios:
- When it is found that the printing effect is not good, such as the first layer can not adhere
to the glass platform, and the phenomenon of staggered layers occurs when using double
materials for printing.
-
After each removal of the hot end or nozzle;
-
After adjusting the tension of the belt;
- After transporting the printer over a long distance.
Level the heated bed
The heated bed and its PEI glass platform are the basis for the formation of the print. To ensure
that the print will adhere smoothly to the PEI glass platform, you need to level the heated bed.
Auxiliary mode
1. Click Calibration > heated bed Leveling > Start.
2. Rotate the leveling wheel at the bottom of the heated bed to calibrate the Z-axis offset of
the left extruder at two points on the heated bed, following the prompts on the touchscreen.
Calibrate the Z-axis offset
To ensure that the left and right extruders print at the correct and consistent height, you need to
calibrate the Z-axis offset.
