number by 3mm instead of 4mm. The reason for this is that we do not want to
crash the platform into the nozzle, so we want to increase the height in smaller and
smaller increments as we get closer to the nozzle.
4 - Once you are about 1mm away from the nozzle, start increasing the number in the
text box by 0.1mm increments and click the “To” button. Repeat this until you get
to within 0.2mm of the nozzle.
TIP:
An easy way to check the distance between the nozzle and platform is to fold a
piece of paper in two (Which will make it about 0.2mm thick) and use that as a
spacer to gauge the distance between the nozzle and platform.
5 - Once you are within 0.2mm of the nozzle, write down the number you have in the
“To” box. This is the correct calibration height! Close the “Maintain” window and
open the “Setup” Window. In the “Setup” window “Nozzle” box, enter the number
you recorded on the “Maintain” Screen. Alternatively, you can click the “Set to
Nozzle Height” button to automatically transfer the value across to the setup screen.
You have now successfully setup the nozzle height.
Note: Once you have setup the nozzle height once, you do not need to do it again
as it is automatically recorded in the “Setup” Screen.
TIP:
You may need to recalibrate nozzle height after moving the printer or removing
parts directly while the perfborad is attached, or if you find the models are not
adhering to the platform properly. It is highly recommended to remove the
perfboard to remove modles.
