Hardware Calibration

Step 2. Use the 6-point mesh to correct Y gantry tilt and finish the hardware calibration loop.

Hardware Calibration

Run the 6-point hardware calibration

Correct Y gantry tilt first, then confirm the final checks.

  1. Run Auto-Leveling and record all 6 values

    Run Auto-Leveling and enter p0 to p5 from left to right.

    Bed Mesh values displayed after auto-leveling
    This flow uses the full 6-point mesh. Do not weaken the diagnosis by entering only 5 values.
  2. Update the diagnosis only after the full scan is entered

    Update the diagnosis only after all 6 values are entered.

  3. If Y gantry tilt is dominant, correct the low side first

    If Y gantry tilt is dominant, fix the low side first. Power off, loosen the locks, adjust the low-side inner screw, re-tighten, then rerun Auto-Leveling.

  4. Follow one correction loop at a time

    Follow one correction at a time. Rerun Auto-Leveling after each change.

  5. Open the PRE_PRINT check only if needed

    Use the PRE_PRINT check only if you already have 3 scans or the normal loop stops improving.

  6. Close the job with final validation

    If the diagnosis passes, rerun the Roll test and recheck the 4 corners. If it escalates, stop and document the latest scan.

Before you finish

  • All 6 mesh values were entered as one complete scan.
  • Y gantry correction was done first when tilt was dominant.
  • If the diagnosis passed, the final Roll test and 4-corner recheck stayed stable.
  • If the diagnosis escalated, repeated adjustment has been stopped and documented.
