7.2.5 Normal vs. Stealth mode
The printer offers two print modes.
Normal mode
is required for the detection of lost steps
(shifted layers) while still being quieter than silent mode on MK2/S. The second is called
Stealth mode
and utilizes Trinamic StealthChop technology, making the printer almost
inaudible with the print cooling fan being the noisiest part of the printer. However,
Stealth
mode
does not provide lost step detection. Furthermore, printing in
Stealth mode
is about
5-20% slower
(depends on the particular model) than printing in the Normal mode.
These modes can be changed in two ways:
1. In
LCD Menu - Settings -
[Normal/ Stealth]
2. During prints
LCD Menu - Tune - [Normal/ Stealth]
7.2.6 Factory reset
The factory reset is used when troubleshooting the printer and resetting it to the factory
state.
Entering the factory reset menu:
1.
Press and release the reset button
(marked X and positioned under the control
knob on the LCD panel)
2.
Press and hold the control knob
until you hear a beep
3. Release the control knob
Options:
●
Language
option resets the language preference.
●
Statistics
will erase all the recorded print time and material from the memory.
●
Shipping prep
which resets only the printer language selection. All the calibration
data including the Live adjust Z remain intact. Even though the calibration data are
still present and functional, the printer will prompt the user once to run the Calibrate Z
function. This “light” factory reset is mainly used for resetting of assembled printers
before shipping out of the factory so that users can select their language and run
Calibrate Z after unpacking.
● Service prep
which is used by Prusa technicians before a repaired printer is sent
back to the customer
●
All data
which resets everything including all calibration data and the whole
EEPROM is cleaned. After this reset, the user is expected to go through the
calibration flow again, except setting the probe height.
If you experience random glitches after a firmware update, or after a printer upgrade, use the
All data
option.
