Where do I find XYZ calibration in Prusa?
XYZ calibration is needed for the kit version, the factory assembled printer is already calibrated. XYZ calibration is a part of the Wizard, which will appear on the first boot or after a factory reset. In case you have skipped the Wizard, you can start it manually from the LCD Menu – Calibration – Wizard.
What do you need to know about XYZ calibration?
The XYZ calibration is a process, which checks, whether the printer was assembled correctly and the axes are perpendicular to each other. It measures the skew of your X/Y axis and applies compensations for any imperfections. It may indicate two sets of error messages compromised/failed. See below for a detailed description.
Where is the pinda sensor on the Prusa?
Go to LCD Menu -> Calibration -> Auto home. Inspect where the PINDA sensor ends up. It must be within the First calibration point. After checking the 1st calibration point, move with the extruder, with your hand, to the other end of the heatbed and inspect the 2nd calibration point. If the PINDA sensor wasn’t inside of any of the circles.
What to do if your sensor is too high on Prusa Mk3?
Place a sheet of paper (e.g. the included cheat sheet) between the nozzle and the heatbed. If the nozzle catches the paper, immediately press the Reset button. Your P.I.N.D.A. sensor is probably set too high.
Where do I find the XYZ calibration Wizard?
XYZ calibration is a part of the Wizard, which will appear on the first boot or after a factory reset. In case you have skipped the Wizard, you can start it manually from the LCD Menu – Calibration – Wizard. For MK3S+ printers, which have the SuperPINDA installed, you MUST use firmware version 3.9.2, or above!
What to do if your XYZ sensor is too high?
Place a sheet of paper (e.g. the included cheat sheet) between the nozzle and the heatbed. If the nozzle catches the paper, immediately press the Reset button. Your P.I.N.D.A. sensor is probably set too high. Lower it down by 2 – 3 threads and run the XYZ calibration again. More info below.
What do you need to know about superpinda sensors?
Make sure that your P.I.N.D.A. or SuperPINDA sensor is roughly 1 mm higher than the tip of the nozzle. Distancing the P.I.N.D.A. sensor is covered in the assembly manual Part 9. Preflight check. There is also a small possibility that your P.I.N.D.A. sensor could be defective.
