LUBRICATING THE CRAFTBOT 3D PRINTER
While the CraftBot 3D printer is still on, set your build plate to the Ø, "Home", or
reference position, by moving it up to the highest possible point. You can find all
your extruder and bed navigation commands in the "Axes" section of the CraftBot
touchscreen's main menu. Once you have selected the icon that looks like an X, Y
and Z with a line connecting all three in the center, you will be taken to a different
display. The first thing that you will need to do is to set the extruder to "home"
position. To do this, touch the "XYZ" house icon. If it is not white already, then
it soon will be. In the next steps you will need to touch the directional arrow
icon after setting the bed and extruder to the home position. From here you can
precede to moving the bed manually. If the extruder is not in the home position
and the motors are not all engaged then the arrow buttons used to move the
extruder and bed will be grey, meaning that they are disabled.
Once the extruder and bed are in the home position, turn the CraftBot printer off
and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
