4.8 Calibrations
The UltiMaker S7 is a dual-extrusion printer with a unique nozzle lifting system. For accurate dual-extrusion prints,
the XY offset and the position of the switch bay must be calibrated.
XY offset calibration
The horizontal distance between the nozzles of the two print cores in the X and Y direction needs to be configured.
A correct XY calibration will ensure that the two colors or materials align well.
The print cores that are supplied with the UltiMaker S7 are already calibrated. For any new combination of print
cores, an XY offset calibration must be performed. The printer will then store this calibration value internally.
To perform the calibration, you will need the XY calibration sheet as a reference, which is included in the accessory
box. Ensure two print cores and materials are installed before starting the calibration.
1.
Confirm the prompt on the display to start. Alternatively, in the Preferences
menu, go to

and select

.
2. The UltiMaker S7 will now print a grid pattern on the build plate. Wait until it is complete.
3.
Once the build plate has cooled down, remove the flexible build plate from the printer.
Place the XY calibration sheet next to the flex plate as a reference. This shows which of the grids corresponds to
X and Y and indicates the numbers for the printed lines.
4. Find the best aligned lines on the printed X grid and note which number corresponds to these lines. Enter this
number as the X offset value on the display.
5. Find the best aligned lines on the printed Y grid and note which number corresponds to these lines. Enter this
number as the Y offset value on the display.
It is important that the printed XY offset pattern adheres well to the build plate and shows no signs of under-
extrusion. If it did not print well, it is recommended to repeat the calibration print.
After completing the XY calibration, place the flexible build plate back into the printer.
