CR-X Technical Notes
Z-Axis Sensor
The Z-Axis sensor is an externally mounted attachment to this printer, and must be
attached to the machine before turning the machine on. It is secured by two channel
nuts, which will turn and lock into place while tightening. The Z-axis sensor must be
mounted with the bottom of the sensor mounting in line with the base of the printer.
Levelling the bed
Like any printer, the bed must be levelled before use. This brings the nozzle to the
correct distance to the bed, and also accounts for any irregularities in the two z-axis
motors. Levelling the corners should be enough, but you can pre-heat the bed to get a
flat surface and level the centre as well. You should level so that you can feel slight
resistance when trying to remove a piece of paper, and the plastic should stick to the
bed without hassle.

Summary of Contents for Creality TL4410

  • Page 1 CR-X Technical Notes Z-Axis Sensor The Z-Axis sensor is an externally mounted attachment to this printer, and must be attached to the machine before turning the machine on. It is secured by two channel nuts, which will turn and lock into place while tightening. The Z-axis sensor must be mounted with the bottom of the sensor mounting in line with the base of the printer.
  • Page 2 CR-X Technical Notes Loose/wobbly head If the extruder head wobbles or can be shaken by hand on the X-axis railing, you must tighten the tension nut to a point where it stops wobbling, then a slight turn after that. The tension nut is located behind the bottom wheel, as part of the axle; this brings the bottom wheel up closer towards the rail.
  • Page 3 CR-X Technical Notes Blockages should not occur at the nozzle and should be more prone to other areas; which can be easily removed by disassembling the nozzle assembly. TH1766 would help with this, as with TD2132. Thermocouple errors usually show through abnormally high temperature readings while the nozzle is still cold to touch.
