Fine tuning:
This function allows users to fine tune the zero of Z-axis according to bonding status of the first layer, in case the zero point is not
satisfactory after standard setting procedures. For instance, if the zero point is too high and causing bonding failure of the first layer:
Press the “
Zero point updating
”
button to fine tune the zero point
with the value you set. The machine
will home again after successful updating
Press “
-
” button to set a
negative fine tuning value
Note:
1. Only the zero of Z-axis need to be set and recorded. Zeros of X-axis and Y-axis are system
default values and will not and cannot be changed.
5. If your printer prints in the mid air, the zero point must be wrongly set. After correct zeroing and
homing, the coordinate of Z should be about 100.
6. Please be prudent with the “
Zero point updating
” button, pressing it will change zero point of the
machine. If the fine tuning value remains 0, the operation will record current height of the nozzle
as zero point. If the fine tuning value is not 0, the operation will update zero point of Z-axis using
fine tuning value you set.
4. The zero point will not be lost after power-off, so there’s no need to reset it. However, the zero
point may be deviated and needs to be reset after the reassembling.
2. Too high Z-axis zero position will lead to loose bonding at the bottom, causing the model falling
off, and too low position will make it difficult to take off the model or even scratch the heated bed.
Dedicated fine tuning is always required to obtain satisfactory first several layers. If the zero
point is too high, please use a negative fine tuning value and use a positive fine tuning value if
the zero point is too low.
3. Pay attention when moving the head downward, especially when the nozzle is getting too close
to the bed. Even though the height detect protection will take effect and force the machine to go
0.06mm each press, the heated bed may also get burnt if you continuously move it downward
without testing the height with a piece of paper.
