Calibration
You need to calibrate your printer regularly to ensure
good print quality and good adhesion to the build plate.
There is a total of 4 calibration processes that ensure
perfect print quality.
There are a few important rules to follow before
calibrating:
»
Heat up the nozzle and remove the filament from the
extruder.
»
Clean the plate and the nozzle tip.
»
Make sure the metal plate is pushed back as far as it
will go.
To preform the calibration please follow these steps:
»
Select the Settings
menu on the LCD screen
and touch the Calibrate
icon
»
Select which calibration process you want to perform
»
Press Start
Offset calibration
The offset calibration requires manual adjustment on
the printer. This process will calibrate the following
parameters:
•
Z limit distance: Required for resuming a print job.
•
BL-Touch - nozzle offset: Required for the assisted
bed and mesh bed leveling.
Assisted bed calibration
»
Wait for the head to warm up or to stand before
calibration begins. (You can change the waiting time
in the personalize menu)
»
Adjusts the parallelism 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 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
»
parallelism are not optimal, the calibration will begin.
»
The print head begins to measure from the front
center. At the bottom of the screen you can see the
scale of the deviation.
