2.3 – Setting the Z Height
Bring your hot end and heated bed up to operating temperature. Set the hot end temp to 190C
and the heated bed to 55C. We want the hot end and bed to expand to "normal" so we can get a fairly
accurate measurement here.
Once the hot end and bed have reached their target temperatures, push the knob in on the LCD
controller. This will take you to the LCD menu. Turn the shaft counter-clockwise until you reach the
"Advanced Settings" entry and then click the button to select that option.
Fig. 2.3-1: Advanced Settings.
Rotate the knob counter-clockwise again and choose the "Home Towers" menu option and
click. This will send the Rostock MAX to the home position. This is the same as sending G28 to the
printer or clicking the "Home All" icon in MatterControl. After the homing process finishes, select the
"Z-Position" option and click.
Fig. 2.3-3: Z Position.
You control the height of the effector platform by turning the shaft on the LCD panel. Turning
it counter-clockwise will lower the nozzle, and turning it clockwise will raise it.
If you turn the shaft quickly, you'll get large changes and if you turn it slowly, one step at a
time, the change will only be 0.01mm per click. Please be careful not to accidentally burn yourself
on the heated bed or the nozzle!
