X/Y calibration.

If you have different cores you have to calibrate each combination. From the serial or GUID number of the core, the printer knows if you have a new uncalibrated core or not. I am not sure if you have to recalibrate the cores if you swap the positions, but I guess yes you have to do it.

    The XY calibration adapts for the different core diameters by adjusting the amount of material extruded and adjusts the brim pattern too.

     

    @rebekah_harper When you say there are problems, can you elaborate?

    Looking at the code it seems to always print at 0.3mm which for a 0.25 nozzle better would be lowered to 0.2mm.

    the xy cal doesnt adjust to current setup.

    with 0.25 nozzle i get the extruder skipping and if i have anything other than pla i have to adjust temp as well as flow rate during the process.

     

    how can i lower the nozzle diameter for an internal process on the machine

    During the printing of the XY-calibration pattern you can adjust the flow and temperature like with any other print, but our goal is that for all Ultimaker approved materials this should be working out of the box.

     

    The 0.25 nozzle is not as well tested as the 0.4 nozzle and I will test again to see if I can find some grinding related problems.

    Discussed with @CarloK

    While the XY calibration does re-calibrate for the smaller nozzle the print still happens with a static layer height, maybe the max mm/s that is pushed trough the nozzle is exceeded causing grinding.

     

    I could generate the gcode for the XY calibration with a smaller layer height, would you be willing to test that?

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.
