Determine the Z Adjustment
Note: Do not measure for Z adjustment until the Calibration Model shows the XY
Offset to be less than 0.002 inch (.05 mm) for the X and Y axis.
A.
Peel the Support layer from the Z Calibration box.
B.
Measure the thickness of the Support layer with a caliper or micrometer in the center of all
four sides of the calibration box. Record the measured value of the smallest side of the box.
C.
If the measured value is within ±0.0005" (0.01 mm) of the Model Tip slice height (see
Table
6-1), no adjustment is necessary. Proceed to step E.
D.
If the measured value is outside the ±0.0005" (0.01 mm) value, subtract the measured value
from the slice height of the Model Tip being used (see
•
If the Model Tip Slice minus the Measured Support thickness is a positive number, the Z correction is
+Z in 0.001 inches.
•
If the Model Tip Slice minus the Measured Support thickness is a negative number, the Z correction is
-Z in 0.001 inches.
•
Example: For a T16 Model Tip - slice height of 0.010" (from
Calibration Box = 0.012"; Calculation 0.010 - 0.012 = - 0.002; Enter 0.002 in the - Z menu option
(para 5.D).
E.
Enter the Z Adjustment Value from the Tip Offset menu (see
F.
If an adjustment entry is required, re-run the calibration model on a clean build sheet (refer to
"XY and Z Tip Offset - Manual Start" on page
G.
Continue to check for Z Calibration until the Support layer matches the Model Tip slice height
±0.0005".
