Then, in Repetier-Host, go to the “Manual Control” page, enter the G-code command
“M218 T1 X42.7 Y-0.3”, and click “Send”(Figure 6.11). This G-code command will
modify the offsets of Extruder 2 to
X
= 42

and
Y

mm
based on the above
calibration results. After this change, you can reprint the calibration model to verify
the new offset settings. Under the new settings, the green and blue lines should align
to each other at the 0 position on both X-axis and Y-axis directions.

For users who feel comfortable to change the firmware code, the nozzle distance can
also be defined in the file
Configuration.h
:
#d e f i n e EXTRUDER OFFSET X
{
0 . 0 , 4 2 . 0
}
#d e f i n e EXTRUDER OFFSET Y
{
0 . 0 , 0 . 0
}
