Calibration of the platform Calibrating the working platform is recommended when you first start the printer. Calibration of the table consists of leveling it with respect to the print head by means of three nuts located underneath the table’s platform. Tighte- ning them (turning them to the right) lowers the table, while loosening them (turning them to the left) raises the table. NOTICE! During the calibration process the print head heats up to 235°C. Be careful and do not touch the head components.

Calibration of the platform CALIBRATION PROCEDURE From the main menu, select Calibration. The print head will travel to the front of the chamber and heat up to C. Clean the nozzle with tweezers and choose Next step. The print head will move to the first calibration point, located above nut nr 1. By turning the nut will cause the printer’s backlight to change color from white to green. NOTICE! A green light does not always mean that the printing platform is properly calibrated.
