Please prepare the 2.5mm hex wrench supplied with your
printer and turn the build plate over with the Kapton foil
side facing DOWN.
This process will calibrate the following parameters:
Z limit distance:
Required to resume a print job.
BL-Touch - nozzle offset:
Required for the assisted bed
and mesh bed leveling.
Extruder 1 and Extruder 2 X-Y offsets:
Required for dual
mode prints.
Extruder Z offset:
Required for dual mode prints, to en-
sure that the heads are on the same Z level.
This adjustment requires the following user interven-
tions:
•
The build plate moves downwards and moves the
right head over the build plate and stops.
•
Loosen the two screws on the left side of the heat-
sink through the gap between the fan grilles and
allow the nozzle to move down. If necessary, press
down the heat block with the hex wrench.
•
Press the Next button. The build plate will now press
up the loosened Extruder 2 to the proper height.
