8.3 Calibrate
The nozzle height of a printer is a key parameter that needs properly set before any
print jobs. It can be calibrated manually or set automatically.
Click Auto on the touchscreen, the printer will go through
a mechanical process to detect the nozzle height. The
final nozzle height will appear on the screen after the
whole process finishes:
Click Edit on the touchscreen, and enter the suitable
value for your printer.
You can also use either +/- button to adjust the value in
the Value Box, and then tap the Value Box to move the
nozzle to the value you set in the Value Box.
Nozzle Height is the current printer’s nozzle height.
The default value for the nozzle height for each Tiertime
printer has been set as 0mm before leaving factory floor
for safety reasons. Therefore, calibration is the
mandatory step prior to your first print.
