STACKER 500KS USER GUIDE 33
Spacing the Heads
In multihead print mode, each of your heads will operate on only a portion of the print bed, so you
will need to space your print heads apart at specific distances along the X gantry depending upon
the number of print heads you are using.
Number of Copies
Spacing Between Heads
2
189mm
3
140mm
4
115mm
To determine the placement of each head along the X gantry, you can use a tape measure and set
the distance between heads. In the image below, the head are being set for 4 head printing, so
they are separated by 115mm (as shown).
To easily setup your print heads for multihead printing, we recommend using our
3D Printer
BuildTak (p/n 90105) available on our website. Our BuildTak comes with a custom spacing
template to easily place your print heads in the correct location. We have also placed a printable
template on our website at
http://stacker3d.com/kickstartersupport
to assist you in head placement,
but please be aware that each printer can scale the print differently, so please always refer to the
distances between heads as your guide.
