4. Find the best aligned lines on the printed X grid and note which number corresponds to these lines. Enter this
number as the X offset value on your Ultimaker S5.
5. Find the best aligned lines on the printed Y grid and note which number corresponds to these lines. Enter this
number as the Y offset value on your Ultimaker S5.
It is important that the printed XY offset print adheres well to the build plate and shows no signs of under-extrusion. If it
does, it is recommended to repeat the calibration print.
Lift switch calibration
The switch bay enables the second print core to be lifted and lowered. For successful dual-extrusion prints, it is
important that print core switching functions well. The lift switch is already calibrated when the Ultimaker S5 is shipped,
but calibration can also be performed manually if needed.
To perform the switch bay calibration:
1. Go to Preferences g Maintenance g Print head g Calibrate lift switch and select Start calibration.
2. Move the lift switch on the side of the print head to point towards you. Confirm to continue.
3. Move the print head so that the lift switch fits in the switching bay. Confirm when completed.
4. Wait for the print head to go to the home position and test the lift switch.
5. Did the lift switch lower and raise the print core? If so, press Yes to complete the calibration. If not, select No to
perform the calibration again.
