Use of the printer
8.2. Autocalibration
The self-calibration procedure allows the printer to calibrate itself automatically thanks to a system based on the
electrical contact between each nozzle and aluminum vacuum plate.
to ensure the electrical contact of the parts, it is important to make sure that there is no material that prevents
the two parts from touching.
For this reason it is important to make sure that
•
each nozzle is perfectly clean from plastic and dirt
•
the print bed is well cleaned of plastic and dirt
Avoid using abrasive materials and cleaning solvents.
8.2.1. Enable Autocalibration procedure
The autocalibration needs a specific procedure to be enabled:
1. Clean the nozzles and bed as described previously
2. Remove the removable printing plate from the aluminum vacuum plate
2. Heat up the nozzles to the temperature of 220°C
3. Use the command PREPARE>DISABLE STEPPERS
4. Lay down gently the nozzle on the bed so that they touch
5. Use the command PREPARE>AUTOCALIBRATION
6. Notice AUTOCALIBRATION ENABLED message on the main window
8.2.2. Launch Autocalibration
After the procedure for enabling the Autocalibration (paragraph 8.2.1) the actual Autocalibration command can
be started using the command PREPARE>AUTOCALIBRATION.
The printer will start to heat up nozzles and bed.
The autocalibration will start automatically and takes few minutes.
After a correct Autocalibration the printer will have saved various values useful for its best functioning.
These values can be lost in case of
•
manual leveling
•
manual changes in advanced settings
•
firmware update (without storing the values)
8.2.3. When is Autocalibration necessary?
The auto calibration is saved in the machine and with the exception of the above cases there is no need to repeat
the operation every time the machine is turned on.
Instead, it is recommended to repeat the operation whenever:
•
The machine results badly calibrated from the first layer (see paragraph 8.1 Adhesion to the bed)
•
A nozzle is replaced
•
An extruder is replaced
•
A procedure of manual levelling is carried out
