If the alignment is as it should be, the calibration process
will continue and no further intervention is required.
Assisted bed calibration
Adjusts the parallelity of the build plate and XY
mechanics, and also the distance between the nozzle
and the build plate.
Assisted bed calibration requires you to manually adjust
the build plate. It will be adjusted using the 3 knob
screws at the bottom of the build plate. There is one
knob at the front in the middle and two in at the back, in
the left and right corners of the build plate.
When the process starts, the printer measures the
distance between the build plate and the nozzle tip using
the BL-Touch sensor. If the distance or parallelity are not
optimal, the calibration will begin.
The print head begins to measure at the front centre. At
the bottom of the screen you can see the scale of the
deviation.
If the deviation is large, the markings are dense. The
arrows below the markings indicate which direction the
knob should be turned to achieve optimum adjustment.
To achieve optimum value, the meter should be between
two prominent lines.
If the measurement is correct, the Next button appears.
By pressing the button the printer will proceed to the
next measurement point. Once all three measurements
have been completed, the printer will re-check the
distances.
If all is well, the measurement process is complete.
Mesh bed leveling
This process creates a map of the build plate and
compensates for any surface inequalities while printing
the first few layers.
For this calibration no user intervention is required.
During the process the printer measures the build plate
at 3 different temperatures: 60°C, 80°C, 100°C
This process takes 15 minutes to complete.
FMS calibration
This calibration is measures the Filament Monitoring
System (FMS) sensor values, and adjusts them if
necessary.
For this calibration no user intervention is required.
Please make sure that filament is loaded into the head
you want to calibrate before starting the process.
