Verifying Tip Depth
The system’s tip depth has been set at the factory and normally does not need adjustment. During
shipment, however, tip depth may shift. Customers that setup and install their own systems need to
verify the tip depth setting prior to building. Building with the wrong tip depth can result in models
not adhering to the modeling base or a loss of extrusion.
To verify tip depth:
1. Install an unused modeling base.
2. Load Model and Support material, see “Loading Material” on page 29 .
3. Press

.
4. Press

5. Press

, and select test_tipdp.
The printer will create six groups of numbers on the modeling platform. Each individual group
will consist of four number pairs. Each number pair will have an extruded number and an
etched number. Each number pair is created at one of four Z-heights: -5, 0, +5, and +10 (in
.001 inches from ‘home’ level). See Figure 15.

Note: The etched number is created by the idle tip. It is normal for only some of
these numbers to be visible. The extruded number is created at a very low flow
rate and may not show up clearly.
