Q7: When The Front And Back Are Cut, They Become Misaligned; Q8: Is There A Way To Make The Material Surface (Z0) Setting More Accurate - Roland iModela Troubleshooting Manual

Q7: When the front and back are cut, they become misaligned.
A: If the material shifts while being cut, try using more securing material or changing the method of securing the
material (double-sided tape, instant glue, or creating a negative form to secure the material).
Q8: Is there a way to make the material surface (Z0) setting more
accurate?
A: When a thin cutter is lowered, it is very difficult to recognize the moment that the tip contacts the material
surface.
If this is not set correctly, a large load may be applied, resulting in the cutter breaking.
Try performing the following operations.
- Recognizing the moment that the cutter tip contacts the material when the cutter is lowered
After applying a fine powder to the material surface, painting it with white correction fluid or applying a spray that
becomes powdery after it has dried, lower the cutter and stop when scattered powder is seen at the moment that
the tip makes contact.
Otherwise, place a sheet of paper on the material surface to recognize the contact point from the paper
movement.
Lower the tool with single clicks of the －Z key; do not hold down the key.
*The setting must be specified with iModela Controller.
- Surfacing to create a precise height
Gradually grind down the high point in small amounts to create a precise material surface.
Set the cut surface as the new material surface.
With material that cannot be cut or material with a height difference on the surface, setting the low point as the
material surface (Z0) may cause a large load in the higher areas when cutting is started.
For accurate cutting, it is more effective to cut the material surface, even though this may seem tedious.
