Z offset
–
manual correction of distance along Z axis. This option makes it possible to add (or subtract) a specific value to the
point measurement (autocompensation) along Z axis. In practice, if Z offset is set to 0.1mm, printing will start at a height
increased by this value.
Example
height of the first layer: 0.2mm
0.2 mm + Z Offset: 0.1 mm = actual print start height: 0.3 mm.
This option may prove useful when using adhesive tapes or pads. If such a solution is used,
Z-offset
should be set to the value
corresponding to the pad thickness. This parameter can have negative values. Then, the print starting point will be set lower
(closer to the heatbed).
ATTENTION
:
negative values of Z offset may never exceed the thickness of the first layer!
Pressure
–
sensitivity of point measurement of Z axis autocompensation. It allows you to determine the value of the hotend's
pressure force during height measurement. Sensitivity can be regulated within the range from 50 to 250. In the case of more
flowable materials, it may be necessary to increase the pressure force to reduce the risk that the hotend will be referenced to
the material flowing out during the measurement. Otherwise, printing may start too high due to the fact that the thickness of
the material flowing to the area under the hotend has been taken into account.
