d. If an adjustment is required, you will need to rebuild the calibration part. To do so:
• After entering your adjustment value(s) press the Apply button within the Manual
Tip Calibration page (see Figure 9 (page 155) for button location). Your calibration
adjustment(s) will be saved. If you continue to change the adjustment values, you
must press the Apply button again to save the changes.
• After pressing the Apply button, the Close button will appear. Press the Close
button to return to the initial Tip Calibration page.

• Repeat step 1 above to build a calibration part.
• Repeat the instructions in step 2. Continue to check and adjust for XY offset.
Readjust until both of the Delta X and Delta Y values are within tolerance, which is
within -0.002 to +0.002 in.
e. Proceed to the Z offset adjustment (step 3 below) once the calibration toolpath for
X and Y is within tolerance.
3. Determine the Z Offset Adjustment.
a. Break off four pieces of the inner square of the calibration part from the locations
shown in Figure 16 (page 160).
b. Measure the thickness of the four pieces of model layer with a caliper or micrometer.
Measure in the center of each side.
The Cancel button can be used to reset an adjustment value entered prior to
pressing the Apply button. Once the Apply button is pressed, values will be
saved and the printer’s calibration settings will reflect the adjustment value
entered. Use caution when entering an adjustment value to ensure it is correct
prior to pressing the Apply button.
The thickness of the model layer piece is typically approximately 0.004 in. greater
than the height. E.G. a piece with a thickness of 0.030 in. will typically have a height
of approximately 0.026 in. Use this information to confirm measurement of the correct
dimension.
