Determination of the current distance between the nozzle and printing plate at printing temperature.
The printer moves to the home position with its Z-axis. The printing
table is lowered a little.
Directly after this, it automatically heats up the extruders to printing
temperature. The temperature depends on which scan you performed
(PLA = 230 °C, ABS = 260 °C).
The temperature of the heat bed remains at the temperature already
set (PLA = 60 °C, ABS = 120 °C).
When the temperature has been reached, the printer will wait for 10
minutes to ensure that the extruders are heated through entirely.
The waiting time is displayed in seconds in the status bar.
Then the printer will determine the current distance between the noz-
zle and printing plate at printing temperature.
This will be saved and automatically accepted for all printouts.
Usually, the Z-offset value no longer needs to be set.
Finally, the printer moves all axes to their home positions and switch-
es off the heaters of the extruders and the heat bed.
When the information "
Scan completed
" is displayed as shown in
the figure, the scan has been completed successfully and the values
have been saved.
Confirm the message with
OK
.
The printer switches back to the main display.
You can use the printer now. Best continue by inserting the filament.
If the display shows "
Scan aborted
", this means that measurement
has been aborted.
In this case, observe chapter "22. Troubleshooting".
