7. NAVIGATE THE BUILD PLATE AND THE EXTRUDERS
Select the AXES on the menu.
• The le arrow buon will return you to the main menu.
• The small house icon indicates the “home” position of the extruder which is location in the front le corner
of the build plate. You can reset the extruder and the build plate to the “home” or “zero” position.
• You can either set each axis one at a time ( , or ), or do all three of them at once by touching
the appropriate buon . If the individual house icons are white, then this means that the motors of each
highlighted icon are engaged (working).
• To disengage the motors, click on the icon in the far-right boom corner , and you will see all of the house
icons turn grey. The motors have now been disengaged (not working) and you can freely move the extruder by
hand if you wish to do so.
• The directional buon to the right of the “home” buon can be used to move along the X, Y or Z axis using the
motors. Aer clicking on this buon, you will be redirected to another display in which you will see six different
arrow buons.
-
the head moves le on the x-axis
-
the head moves right on the x-axis
- the head backwards on the y-axis
-
the head forwards on the y-axis
-
the bed moves up the z-axis
- the bed moves down the z-axis
Note that this option can only be used if all of the motors are already activated and the house icons are all white. If
the house icons are grey, then nothing will happen. In this case, aer clicking on the direction buon, you will see all
of the arrows in the color grey. To activate the motors, return to the “home” icon and home in; the house icons will
now turn white and you can go on to the direction display and move the extruder and bed as you see fit.
