The hardware interface displays the parameters of the printer hardware.

Hardware


(1) Machine ID

The ID of the printer.

Machine ID


(2) Network

The Mac Address

WLAN MAC Address


(3) Steps Per Unit

Steps Per Unit is the number of signals that the stepping motor receives if it moves 1 mm forward. The unit is step.


For example, if the X Step Per Unit is 80, it means that the stepping motor that controls the X axis to move forward by 1 mm requires receiving 80 signals, that is ,80 steps.


At the same, Users can manually set the number of steps of the stepping motor which controls Y and Z axes as well as E extruder, if the stepping motor advances 1 mm.

You can change the value according to the following figures.


For printer serial number after 10202013540 (inclusive):


For printer serial number before 10202013540:

(4) PID Settings

PID Settings


Click to enter the Auto Tuning interface, to select nozzle to be adjusted, set the required temperature and adjustment times, then click “Start”. When the nozzle temperature is heated to the set temperature, select “Apply”, the PID values will be applied to the screen.

PID Auto tune


Note: make sure the nozzle is cold when tuning the PID automatically. Otherwise, the adjusted PID may be inaccurate.

Click to enter the Manual Tuning interface to set the following parameters:

Manual Tuning


Choose the nozzle to tune and set PID.

P (Proportional value): the output of the controller is proportional to the input error signal.

I (Integral value): control the steady state error of the system.

D (Derivative value): speed up the reaction of the system.


(5) Acceleration

You can define acceleration values on this page.

Note: The value will affect the print quality, do not change optionally.


For printer serial number after 10202013540 (inclusive):


For printer serial number: before 10202013540:

(6) Jerk

You can adjust the Jerk settings on this page.

Note: The value will affect the print quality, do not change optionally.


For printer serial number after 10202013540 (inclusive):


For printer serial number before 10202013540:

(7) Extruders

Click to enter the extruder interface, select “Enable Extruder Offset” and set nozzle spacing. Click “Apply” to complete extruder offset.

Extruders Settings


(8) Z Probe Offset

Z Probe Offset refers to the distance of the nozzle from the printing plate when the probe is triggered. On this page, you can set the probe Z directional offset value.

Z Probe Offset


(9) Drive Current

On this page you can modify the maximum current of the motor that controls each nozzle and axis.


For printer serial number after 10202013540 (inclusive):


For printer serial number before 10202013540:

(10) Temperature Limits

Enable the temperature limit to set the minimum temperature of the nozzle, the minimum temperature of the load/unload and the default temperature. Click “Apply”. The system will automatically apply the set temperature value to the relevant interface and function after restarting the screen.
