the platform appears to be about 7mm away from the nozzle, increase the
number in the text box to 1
only increased the number by 3mm instead of 4mm. The reason for this is
that we do not want to crash the platform into the nozzle, so we want to
increase the height in smaller and smaller increments as we get closer to
the nozzle.
4 - Once you are about 1mm away from the nozzle, start increasing the
number in the text box by 0.1mm increments and click the “To” button.
Repeat this until you get to within 0.2mm of the nozzle.
TIP: An easy way to check the distance betwe
fold a piece of paper in two (Which will make it about 0.2mm thick) and
use that as a spacer to gauge the distance between the nozzle and
platform.
5 - Once you are within 0.2mm of the nozzle, write down the number you h
in the “To” box. This is the correct calibration height! Close the “Maintain”
window and open the “Setup” Window. In the “Setup” window “Nozzle” box,
enter the number you recorded on the “Maintain” Screen. Alternatively, you
can click the “Set to Nozzl
value across to the setup screen. You have now successfully setup the
nozzle height.
6 – Now click “Goto Bottom” in the Maintenance screen.
NOTE: Once you have setup the nozzle height once, you do not need to
do it again as it is automatically recorded in the “Setup” Screen.
