SET UP Z-OFFSET
44
The nozzle z-offset is an additional distance to the layer height between the nozzle and
the build plate while printing the first layer, which allows to print the first layer most
accurately. There is no need to configure the z-offset on a new 3D printer and before each
printing.
Low z-offset:
strong adhesion, the first
layer is translucent with
too wide printing lines.
Results in nozzles,
clogging, glass damage,
and poor printing quality.
Optimal z-offset:
printing lines are without
visible defects and have a
steady contact with each
other.
Provides for the correct
adhesion of the first layer
to ensure high printing
quality.
Weak z-offset:
weak adhesion, lack of
contact between printing
lines.
Causes the model to
detach off the platform
and poor printing quality.
The optimal value is set individually for each 3D printer. Improper z-offset settings affect
the printing quality, and printing with using materials with high shrinkage can damage the
glass of the platform.
Adjust the z-offset in the following cases:
After a factory reset to update the printer firmware.
In case of too weak or too strong adhesion of the first printed layer.
If there is no flow on the first printed layer.
