Within the Select Calibration Part Location page
on the build sheet and then press the Next button.

Once the calibration part is complete you will be prompted to remove the part from the printer
(Figure
6-8). Remove the completed part and then press the Next button.

Repeat the instructions in
the calibration toolpath is centered at 0 for the X and Y axis is preferable. However, readjusting
until the calibration toolpath for X and Y is within tolerance, which is at or under 2 or 0.002 in.
(0.05 mm) for an axis, is acceptable.
E.
Proceed to the Z offset adjustment
tolerance.

Determine the Z Offset Adjustment.
Note: Do not measure for Z until the calibration part shows the XY offset to be at
2 (0.05 mm) or less for the X and Y axis (see
A.
Peel the support layer from the inner square of the calibration part.
B.
Measure the thickness of the support layer on each side of the square with a caliper or
micrometer. Measure in the center of each side; measuring near the corners will result in
inaccurate values.
C.
Take the average value of the four measurements, this is the number you will enter for the Z
offset adjustment.
