Return extruder to "home" or rest after abort

Post by Hockeyfreak » Thu Sep 19, 2019 11:03 pm

How do you do this other than turning off the printer and manually moving bar, extruder, and bed, which I hate doing fearing I'll screw something up. I had to cancel a print, but there's no "return home" option in settings, and the extruder just stayed where it stoped, making it difficult for me to clean up the mess. Sorry for such a simple question, I'm sure I'm missing something.

:D Hi, You can try moving the z-axis up a distance on the printer's screen.

Then clean up the consumables.

If the nozzle is clogged,
you can refer to this to clean the nozzle:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iorvvnp6Y7Y

I hope this can help you.

Awesome! Thanks. Wish there was a shortcut to that. What about the bed not being correctly spaced when leveling corners? Starting at the front left, it's right on the corner, front right it's about 15mm from the right side, back right it's 15 from right side and almost 20 from back, left back its right on the left side and 20mm from back. I have to manually move the bed to center it up (I don't know if that's good for it or not). Is something not put together right? My setup in Cura is 240 240 260, but that shouldn't matter to the internal calibration of the printer.

:D Hi, Adjusting the distance between the hotbed and the nozzle is the distance that can move an A4 paper.
If you want to level the hotbed, you can refer to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3eCEiqF_00

The printing range of A10 is 220*220*200

I hope this can help you.

I thank you for that info (I have been doing that already), but I was actually talking about when centering of the extruder on the bed. It does not center, all projects are started left and forward of center, because my A10 starts off not being centered. When you press auto home, it comes to the forward left position off the bed and rests. You then press level corners and it starts and continues at the positions of in the picture below. This is internal calibration of the printer, I believe not having anything to do with adjusting the printer in Cura. I've tried different settings in Cura and seems to have no effect on the position of the extruder when leveling and when starting print. Is there some calibrating setting in there to adjust the extruder, then set the middle of the bed so the A10 remembers it? I haven't printed anything big enough to really make it a factor, but someday it might come into play.

Also, does anyone else have to level their corners before every single print? Mine seem to always need adjusting, especially the #1 position.

Thanks!

Hi, If you change the print range of the print settings to the range of A10 itself,
But still not printing in the middle,
You can try to update the firmware.
I hope this can help you. :D

Thanks. I'll look for this. Didn't see it before

As for the leveling, apparently I didn't notice the dried filament on the head after printing, so I was constantly leveling to that. Need is fine and status of as far as I can tell. Prints seen to come it good (with my limited experience) printed the flying turtle and worked like a champ
