Bed Calibration: HotEnd Gradually Raises with use.

Post by 3D-Print »

Bed calibration. I check one or twice a week to ensure that the X, Y and Z-axes are calibrated to the bed. I find that this many times needs to be adjusted so that the HotEnd is close enough to the bed. The change is not much and is less than paper thickness (1/4 of the adjustment screws) but it is enough that I need to adjust.

My belts are tight. Is there some reason that the HotEnd continues to rise over the weeks of use?

Check your end-stop switches if they are loose, possible they are moving up over time.

Cehec the threads and calibrate using the eeprom. That way you can track the shift.

Great idea. I like geniuses of tracking the change. I'm into a print right now and will cel heck the end stops tomorrow. Then watch and adjust with EEPROM.
