Calibrating Z Axis

Post by grant1 » Fri Jan 23, 2015 8:39 pm

Hi there,

I recently bought the mecreator but having problems setting it up.
It all appears to be ok, however, when i try to print anything, its clear the Z axis is out of whack. From manual controls its 3.3mm out of alignment, but i dont know how to calibrate the z axis to be minus 3.3mm


This is the first time ive ever bought a 3d printer, so im new to this. I just dont want this to be a very expensive paperweight!

Can anyone help?

Thankyou

john

Hi Grant,
Look at the Hot platform, it move with Z Axis all the time, you can find an adjusting screw on its left. The platform will stop when the adjusting screw hit Z-endstop, anticlockwise adjusting, the platform will be close to the nozzle.
If that doesn't work, please send us a photo about it.
