How do I set my home for a 3D printer?
To ensure that the print head is at a known position, you use a sensor or switch fitted at the ends of each axis. The switch is triggered when the print head has reached home position. For Delta printers, the home position is at the very top of the machine.
What does set home offsets do on Ender 3?
With the Ender 3 and the Ender 3 Pro, there are a few important reasons to change the Z offset: to ensure the bed can be properly leveled, to print on top of another object, and to print more complicated models.

What is a home offset?
An offset account is a transaction account linked to your home loan. It could help reduce the amount of interest you pay on your loan and help you pay it off sooner. The more money in your offset account, the less interest you’ll pay.
What is auto home 3D printer?
Auto home on a Creality Ender 3 (and presumably all other 3D printers) moves the bed and the extrusion nozzle into a default “zero” position. In essence the bed and the extrusion nozzle are moved so they hit the end stop microswitches which signal to the controller board where the bed and nozzle are.
What is a good print speed for Ender 3?
The Ender 3s are “regular” machines with standard motors, steppers, and nozzle setup, so you can stick with general guidelines: as low as 40-50 mm/s for detailed prints and as high as 70-80 mm/s for rougher models.
What should the home be on Ender 3?
Having the head home slightly off the bed in the X and/or Y direction is a good thing, because it means the Z homing can’t crash into the bed if the bed height is misadjusted. On my Ender 3, the X axis homes slightly into the bed, but the Y homes such that the nozzle tip is in front of the bed.
How to set a manual offset in Ender 3?
To set a manual offset, you can use the set position command: Set position command : G92 Z0.1; (In this case, the printer has set the current position (home position) to be Z = 0.1 mm, creating a -0.1-mm offset).
How do I adjust the height of my Ender 3?
As for the Z homing, you have to adjust the bed height (“bed leveling”) via the 4 wheels under the corners of the bed to bring it to the right height. If you can’t get it below the nozzle with the wheels all the way tightened, your Z endstop switch must be installed incorrectly.
When does the Ender 3 stop moving down?
When you auto-home your Ender 3, the extruder base moves down until it runs into the Z-axis limiter switch, telling it to stop moving down. This protects your print bed. But if it’s improperly aligned, whether too high or too low, then you’ll struggle to get your print bed leveled properly for printing.
