Posted · Trouble Calibrating the X Y Axis on the S5

Hello, 

 

I'm trying to calibrate the X-Y axis on my Ultimaker S5. 

Everything has been going well except when it switches over to the second print head. Once it does, the print head is too high off the build plate and therefore the filament does not adhere properly, making the test useless. 

I have already manually levelled the build plate several times to be accurate, 

 

Is this a problem with the Z Axis?

    Strange. 

     

    Is your photo showing the part where it is trying to draw the lines?

     

    Most likely you aren't doing the manual leveling properly.  the very last step calibrates the second print core.  Read the instructions carefully.  I believe you need to use the up and down arrows on the display when calibrating the second nozzle.  You can skip over the part where it asks you to put the nozzle 1mm above the print bed.  Skip those 3 steps.  Then do the rear accurately with a piece of paper and the calibration card and then do the front knobs to make the bed flat.  Then for the right core you are only using the arrows (not turning the mechanical knobs).

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
