6. Click the dropdown menu in the upper left to shift to X/Z mode. X/Z calibration

requires measurement of the L-shapes.

Only one L-shape is needed to do the measurement, but all the L-shapes are

needed to check in order to find the right one.

First, remove all the L-shapes from the build plate and peel them off the raft.

Rememer the position of each L-shape on the build plate when peel them off the

build plate.

Place them in a position on a table that matches their original position on the print

surface – right for right, front for front, etc.

Use a right angle ruler as shown in the following Figure and push the ruler against

the corner of each one of the L-shapes. If the angle of the corner of the L-shape is

90 degrees, move to the next L-shape. Continue this process with each L-Shape. If

all the L-shapes are 90 degrees as shown in figures 3 and 4, enter ‘0.0’ for the Z

value and X/Z calibration is done.

If you find one L-shape that is not 90 degrees, it means the X and Z axis are not

perpencular, and it needs to be adjusted. To clarify, you need to look for a gap

between the ruler and the L-shaped object. If you find a gap, you have found the L-

shape that will provide your Z value and so you need to measure the gap.

The gap will either be at the top of the L-Shape (an obtuse angle) or at the bottom

corner(an acute angle), between the ruler and L-Shape. Use another ruler to

measure the gap, as shown below. Enter the Z value as a negative number if the

angle is obtuse. Enter the Z value as a positive number if the angle is acute.
