Platform calibration is the most important step for successfull printing, as it ensures the first
layer adhesion. Ideally, the distance between nozzle and platform is constant, but in reality
the distance varies at different positions due to many reasons (eg. slightly tilted platform) and
this could cause warping of prints or even complete failure. Fortunately UP BOX has automatic
platform calibration and automatic nozzle height detection functions. By using these 2 functions,
the calibration process could be finished quickly and easily.
Calibation Tips:
1. Do the calibrations when nozzle is not heated.
2. Remove residual plastic on the nozzle before calibration
3..A perf board should be fitted on platform during calibration.
Automatic Platform Calibration
In 3D Print menu, select Auto Level to
initiate auto leveling. The leveling probe will
be lowered and start to probe 9 positions on
the platform. After probing the platform,
the leveling data will be updated and stored
in the machine, leveling probe retracts
automatically.
