Z axis settings

Before commencing the printing process you need to adjust the screw that regulates the height of

the Z axis, so that the extruder is positioned at the correct distance from the bed. To do so, follow

the steps below:

1 Balance the ends of the X axis, using the screw to manually adjust each axis until they

are both at the same height.

2 Tighten the adjustment screw until it extends 4 mm above the printed part.

3 Move the extruder to its starting position by selecting the Control > Move axis > Auto

home options on the LCD control panel.

Note: manually check that all the endstops touch their respective axes.
