Z Seam Alignment Not Accurate


Recommended Posts

Posted · Z Seam Alignment Not Accurate

I have a disign similar to a square.  I want to align the seam at an exact specific point.  I can set the seam to x 50, y55 and I can see the seam start and end on the corner.  But I want to move the seam slightly to the other side of the corner so I try to set x 51.  The seam now jumps about 5 cm the other direction.  I can even make adjustments to .001 and it will still jump almost 5cm the other direction.  What is the deal???  How can I get accurate full control of the alignment?  Also is there a way to put a point on the surface to see the exact coordinates I want to pin point rather than trial an error every fraction of a millimeter?

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
