3.6 Run the Offset Calibration

1. Make sure your 2 Hyper Speed Hot Ends have been successfully installed. Improper installation of the hot end will prevent subsequent offset calibrations from running. Offset calibration is to ensure that your printer will print successfully. There are 5 steps in the whole offset value calibration, and the whole process takes about 1 hour.

2. Please select your nozzle diameter and make sure you have selected the correct filament template. Currently, two filament templates, Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA and Raise3D Premium PLA are supported. Add filaments to different nozzles according to your needs. 2 spools of Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament are used for calibration in this tutorial.

Note:

1) It is recommended to use the same type of filaments for Offset Calibration. It is recommended to use Raise3D Hyper Speed filaments. This tutorial uses 2 spools of Hyper Speed PLA filament for calibration.

2)When running the "R-Nozzle XY Offset" and "Dual Color Cube" in the Offset Calibration, PLA filament must be used.

3. The picture below shows that both the left and right nozzles use Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filaments.

4. Prepare the following materials:

①0.3mm feeler gauge

②2 spools of Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament.

Note: Since the Hyper Speed upgrade kit only contains 1 spool of Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament, you can take a piece of Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament for calibration. In the future, Riase3D will launch more colored Hyper Speed PLA filaments and other types of filaments.

5. Run the 5-step Offset Calibration sequentially according to the prompts on the screen.

3.6.1 Run the Left Z Probe Offset

1. Enter the Left Z Probe Offset. Make sure your nozzle and build plate are clean.

2. Prepare a 0.3mm feeler gauge. Adjust the distance between the nozzle and the build plate according to the prompts on the screen. Make sure the you can feel some resistance as the feeler gauge moves between the nozzle and build plate. Do not press hard on the build plate.

3. After adjusting the distance between the nozzle and the build plate, follow the prompt on the screen to load Hyper Speed PLA filament.

Note: 2 spools of white Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament are used for calibration in this tutorial. This may not be consistent with guidance.

4. After the filaments are successfully installed, the printer will start printing a 9-square calibration model. Wait for the model to print.

5. After the model is printed, compare the model with the on-screen example. Select the first block that doesn’t leak light. The printer will automatically adjust the offset value of the left nozzle.

Note: If all the blocks do not leak light, it means that there may be deviations when measuring the distance between the build plate with a feeler gauge. It is recommended to select "None of the block leak lights" and recalibrate the distance between the build plate and the left nozzle.

3.6.2 Run the Right Z Probe Offset

1. Enter the Right Z Probe Offset. Make sure your nozzle and build plate are clean. The procedure for calibrating the right nozzle is the same as for the left nozzle.

2. Prepare a 0.3mm feeler gauge. Adjust the distance between the nozzle and the build plate according to the prompts on the screen. Make sure the you can feel some resistance as the feeler gauge moves between the nozzle and build plate. Do not press hard on the build plate.

3. After adjusting the distance between the nozzle and the build plate, follow the prompt on the screen to load Hyper Speed PLA filament.

Note: 2 spools of white Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filament are used for calibration in this tutorial. This may not be consistent with guidance.

4. After the filaments are successfully installed, the printer will start printing a 9-square calibration model. Wait for the model to print.

5. After the model is printed, compare the model with the on-screen example. Select the first block that doesn’t leak light. The printer will automatically adjust the offset value of the left nozzle.

Note: If all the blocks do not leak light, it means that there may be deviations when measuring the distance between the build plate with a feeler gauge. It is recommended to select "None of the block leak lights" and recalibrate the distance between the build plate and the right nozzle.

3.6.3 Bed Leveling

1. The purpose of this step is to calibrate the flatness of the build plate. The printer will automatically detect 9 points on the build plate and adjust the flatness of the build plate.

2. After the build plate is leveled, a visualized leveling result is displayed.

3.6.4 R-Nozzle XY Offset

1. The purpose of this step is to calibrate the XY offset of the right nozzle so that it aligns with the left nozzle. The printer will heat up automatically and print two test models.

Note: This calibration can only be performed if both the left extruder and the right extruder are loaded with PLA filaments, otherwise this step cannot be performed. In this tutorial, the left and right extruders are loaded with Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA filaments.

2. After printing, according to the instructions on the screen, select a pair of lines that are completely aligned on the X model and the Y model respectively. As shown in the figure below, the number of a pair of lines that are fully aligned on the X model is 0, and the number of a pair of lines that are completely aligned on the Y model is 0.

3. Input the serial number on the screen. The printer will automatically calibrate the XY Offset of the right nozzle.

3.6.5 Dual-Color Cube

1. This step aims to validate the XY offset value of the right nozzle by printing a dual-color cubes.

2. After downloading and installing ideaMaker 4.4.0 Alpha, import the model into ideaMaker 4.4.0 Alpha.

Note: Currently only Pro3 series printers can use the Hyper Speed Mode.

3. In ideaMaker 4.4.0 Alpha, there is a built-in Hyper Speed Mode switch in the “Prepare to Slice” / “Select Templates” interface. If the Hyper Speed Mode switch is not turned on, it will be in Standard Mode; if it is turned on, it will enter the Hyper Speed Mode.

1) Standard Mode

2)Hyper Speed Mode

4. Select the printer model, filaments, and template.

1) In Hyper Speed mode, only Raise3D Pro3 and Pro3 Plus printers can be selected.

2) In the Hyper Speed mode, only Raise3D Hyper Speed PLA/ABS and Raise3D Premium PLA/ABS templates are provided.

5. Select the slicing template for the filament.

At present, we provide two templates of "Standard" and "High Quality" for PLA and ABS filaments of both Raise3D Hyper Speed series and Raise3D Premium series.

1) The L1/L2 label will be displayed before the template, and the specific judgment rules are as follows:

In ideaMaker 4.4.0 Alpha version, in Hyper Speed mode: the templates will be labeled by L1/L2 according to the values of velocity, acceleration and volumetric flow rate in the templates settings.

2) ideaMaker will judge all parameters related to speed, acceleration and flow rate in the current template settings. As long as one parameter value reaches L1 or L2, after the template is saved, it will add L1 or L2 labels to the template (In Standard Mode, labels will not be displayed).

3) In Standard Mode and Hyper Speed Mode, threshold values for each speed of different filaments.

In ideaMaker 4.4.0 Alpha version, Raise3D filaments have threshold limits for speed, acceleration, and volumetric flow rate in Standard Mode and Hyper Speed Modes respectively, and if each speed exceeding the threshold, ideaMaker will display an alert.

In Standard Mode / Hyper Speed Mode, click "Edit" to enter the advanced settings of the template. When the speed, acceleration, and volumetric flow rate exceed the threshold, a yellow exclamation mark reminder is given, and an explanation is given when the mouse hovers over it.

4) In Standard Mode / Hyper Speed Mode, when save the template or slice the model, a warning pop-up window will appear when the speed, acceleration, and Volumatic flow rate exceed the threshold.

5) Raise3D filaments have different thresholds for speed, acceleration, and volume flow rate in Standard Mode and Hyper Speed Mode, see the table below for details.

The speed judgment includes all the following fields:

Acceleration judgment includes all the following fields:

Volumetric flow rate judgment includes all of the following fields:
