Hello, 3D printing enthusiasts! Today, we’re going to walk you through the process of calibrating the Z-axis on the Funmatte Pro 410 3D printer from Intamsys. Proper calibration is crucial for achieving high-quality prints, so let’s get started.
What You’ll Need
Before we dive into the calibration process, make sure you have the following items handy:
- A glove (to protect your hand from the heat)
- A 0.2 millimeter leveling card (usually included with the machine)
Step-by-Step Calibration Guide
Now, let’s go through the steps to calibrate the Z-axis effectively:
1. Locate the Material
Begin by finding the material option on the right-hand side of your printer, usually located towards the bottom. Select it to proceed.
2. Manual Leveling
Press the ‘M’ key on your printer to enter manual leveling. If you’ve previously completed leveling, you can skip this step.
3. Z-Calibration
For Z-calibration, ensure that the build plate and chamber are clear of obstructions. Then, press ‘OK’ to proceed.
4. Nozzle Heating
Wait for the printer’s nozzle to heat up. The specific temperature may vary depending on the material you’re using. In this case, we set it to 390°C because PPSU was selected.
5. Left Nozzle Calibration
Begin with the left nozzle. Move the build plate up to the nozzle, ensuring you feel a slight resistance. Once it feels right, press ‘Next’ to proceed.
6. Right Nozzle Calibration
Switch to the right nozzle and repeat the same process. Bring the build plate up until it meets the nozzle with a bit of resistance. When you’re satisfied, press ‘OK’ to complete the calibration for the right nozzle.
Conclusion
And there you have it! You’ve successfully calibrated the Z-axis on your Funmatte Pro 410 3D printer. Calibration is a vital part of ensuring your 3D printer operates at its best, producing accurate and high-quality prints. Don’t forget to keep your leveling card and glove handy for future calibrations. Happy 3D printing!
