DUAL HEAD PRINTING
12.1
X,Y Calibration between nozzles
At the moment of writing the calibration is not properly implemented in the FELIXbuilder
software. This will be fixed in the next software release being released in 2016. To do this
properly we have to do this via the display unit at the moment.
There are 3 calibrations for the printer.
1.
Mechanical bed leveling.
2.
Head height between nozzles, recommended when changing a hot-end
3.
Distance in X, Y direction between the nozzles. Recommended when changing a hot-end
After changing a nozzle, it is recommended to recalibrate the printer with points 2 and 3.
described above. How to do this will be described below.
1.
Insert the original SD card supplied with the printer.
2.
Navigate
to
the
subfolder
2_printfiles_assembly
and
start
the
00_Full_calibration_routine_P1.gcode.
The printer will level the bed and also calibrate
the height between the nozzles.
Important note: When starting this routine it will probe the bed at several positions.
Make sure after probing the bed moves downward. If this is not the case the probing
sensor is not working properly and the calibration will be wrong.
3.
After successfully calibrating the height between the nozzles. Start the
02_dual_head_XY_calibration_P1_v6.gcode
file.
After starting the calibration print. The
figure on the left will be printed. A print
which consists of two layers. Each layer
printed with a separate nozzle.
Note which squares match best in x and
y direction. In this example we will take
the -3y square and the 2x square.
When the green middle square aligns
best, the calibration is successful, if this
is not the case then follow next steps
to recalibrate.
