12 Calibration of table (5-15 mins)
For a successful print it is important that the table is properly calibrated, which means it should be level. The table can be leveled by turning the 3
M4 nuts underneath the heated bed.
Steps:
Calibrate the table in y-direction.
1.
Move the X-axis carriage(extruder) to the homing sensor
2.
Move the Y-axis (heated bed) to the homing sensor
3.
Move the table up until approximately 1mm from the hot-end.
4.
Goal is to move the y-axis and to get the distance between the tip of hot-end and the heated bed the same over the whole movement.
5.
Move the bed over the hole movement range and while moving adjust the adjustment screws underneath the table to level out the table in y-
direction.
6.
Move the table a little closer to the hot-end and repeat the previous step.
Calibration in x-direction
7.
Move the table to the middle of its movement range
8.
Move the X-axis carriage over it's movement range. While moving check the distance between the hot-end and bed. If the distance is not even,
adjust it with the nut which supports the middle of the table.
You are done-calibrating the table.
Calibration in Z-direction.
9.
After leveling the heated bed, the homing z-position should be correct. This can be adjusted by tweaking the z-axis switching vane. This will be
done after installing the software. See further ahead in the manual
10. Press the homeZ button
11. After the home movement is finished, check the distance between the hot-end and the table. This should be approximately the layer height of
a printed layer. In our case that is 0.32mm. Use a sheet of paper as distance measurement.
12. If it seems ok than you are finished otherwise adjust the z-axis switching vane.
