Important: The home position calibration can be performed only when the parallelism is achieved, see Check Parallelism and Calibration Pro XL.
1. Remove the build platform from the printer and place it aside on a clean work surface.
2. On the home screen, select Settings > Move & Calibration > Home Calibration > Manual Homing.
→ The following screen appears.
3. Select the material tray from the list.
→ The following screen appears.
4. Select Move to Home.
→ The build platform holder moves down the Z-axis to the current home position.
5. Set the value of a step by pressing the - and + icons of Step Value. This is the increment used for the Motion Distance. The Step Value increments can be set to 0.01, 0.10, 1.00, and 10.00.
6. Set a motion distance of the platform by pressing the - and + icons of Motion Distance. This is the total distance the platform moves.
Tip: The positive values move the platform up; the negative values move the platform down. Pressing the refresh icon resets the motion distance value to zero.
7. Reference the values in Step 11 of Check Parallelism and Calibration Pro XL to determine the new home position. The adjustment should be made based on the average height of the calibration blocks.
- If the average height measurement is below 4.90 mm, move the platform up by selecting Move the required number of steps.
- If the average height measurement is above 5.10 mm, move the platform down by selecting Move the required number of steps.
10. Set the motion distance to the required adjustment. Select Move to make the adjustment and then select Save.
→ The build platform holder starts moving up to the top of the Z-axis.
→ The new home position is set.
