Bed leveling
Adjusts the parallelity of the build plate and XY
mechanics, and the distance between the nozzle and the
build plate.
The assisted bed calibration requires you to manually
adjust the build plate. It will be adjusted using the 3 knob
screws at the boom of the build plate. There is one
knob at the front in the middle and two in the back le
and right corners of the build plate.
• At the beginning of the process the printer measures
the distance between the build plate and the nozzle
tip using the BL-Touch sensor. If the distance or
parallelity are not optimal, calibration will begin.
• The print head begins the measurement at the front
centre calibration point. At the boom of the screen,
you can see the scale of the deviation.
• If the deviation is large, the markings are dense. The
arrows below the markings indicate which direction
the knob should be twisted to achieve optimum
adjustment.
• To achieve optimum value, the meter should be
wrapped between two prominent lines.
• Aer 3 optimal measurements, the NEXT buon
appears. If one or more of the 3 measurements is out
of range, the calibration will not continue and will
need to be adjusted using the knob.
• Press the NEXT buon, the head is positioned above
the back right buon and then above the back le
buon screws.
• Repeat the procedure for theremaining two knobs.
If the measurement is correct, the Next buon appears.
If you press the buon the printer will proceed to the
next measuring point. Once all three measurement
points have been completed, the printer will re-check the
distances.
If all is well, the measurement process is complete.
Mesh bed leveling
Creates a map of the build plate and compensates for
any surface inequalities while printing the first few layers.
For this calibration, no user intervention is required.
During the process, the printer measures the build plate
at 3 different temperatures: 60°C, 80°C, 100°C
This process takes 15 minutes to complete.
