# Testing your work
|
|
1. Go to your printer management gui on web.
|
|
2. Turn on heater for extruder and set it to ***50C***. Wait for it to reach temp. Once temp is reached and it's not climbing past it, turn it off and wait for temp to go down.
|
|
3. Turn on heater for bed and set it to ***50C***. Wait for it to reach temp. Once temp is reached and it's not climbing past it, turn it off and wait for temp to go down.
|
|
4. Next up we want to test motors, for that run command:
|
|
1. **STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=stepper_x** <- this causes print head to move to right 1mm and then back 1mm ten times
|
|
2. **STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=stepper_y** <- this causes print head to move to left 1mm and then back 1mm ten times
|
|
3. **STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=stepper_z** <- this is the front left corner
|
|
4. **STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=stepper_z1** <- the back left corner
|
|
5. **STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=stepper_z2** <- the back right corner
|
|
6. **STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=stepper_z3** <- the front right corner
|
|
7. **STEPPER_BUZZ STEPPER=extruder** <- the print head gears
|
|
5. Next up testing the end stops. Put print head in the centre of the printer.
|
|
1. Go to Machine, refresh endstop statuses
|
|
2. Hold down the X endstop switch, press refresh on endstop statuses
|
|
1. It should state that it's now triggered instead of being open.
|
|
2. Repeat steps for Y and Z endstop.
|
|
3. Take a metal object (e.g. Caliper) and place it under the Omron proximity sensor. Press refresh on endstop statuses, it should state that it's now triggered instead of being open.
|
|
6. Testing Homing
|
|
1. Go to console and run **G28 x** command <- the printhead will go up a little and then to the right until it hits the X endstop.
|
|
2. Next run **G28 y** command <- the printhead will go up a little and then back until it hits the Y endstop
|
|
3. Shut down your printer. Without moving the print head lower the gantry to bed level.
|
|
1. Measure from the back of the bed to the centre of the print nozzel
|
|
2. The centre of the Z endstop pin needs to be that far back from the bed.
|
|
1. You can now fully tighten down the Z endstop.
|
|
3. The bed needs to be moved back, so that it is ***2-3mm*** from the closest edge of the Z endstop pin.
|
|
1. Loosen bed screws for easy moving. Tighten ***only*** screw near the Z-endstop after that.
|
|
4. Align the print nozzle with the Z endstop on the X axis, then move the print head to the center on the Y axis.
|
|
4. Power up your printer and send a **G28 y** command
|
|
1. Without changing X or Y lower the gantry, until the nozzle touches the Z endstop, the nozzle should be in the centre of the pin
|
|
1. Z endstop should be higher than the bed
|
|
5. Testing the 0,0 location
|
|
1. Move the print head close but not touching to the bed, in centre.
|
|
2. Run **G28 x y** command to put the print head in the back right corner.
|
|
3. Using Controls from UI, move the print head close to the front left corner
|
|
4. Once you are close, run **M114**, it will show your position
|
|
5. Move the ammounts needed to be at 0,0
|
|
1. You should be on the corner of the bed. It is probably a good idea it rather be in a small amount, you can change it in tuning should you feel the need for it.
|
|
6. Finding the X, Y of the Z endstop
|
|
1. Start with **G28 x y** command
|
|
2. Using Controls from UI , move the print head over until it lines up with the Z endstop.
|
|
3. Run **M114** command so we get X and Y coordinates
|
|
4. Save the result of those coordinates to Notepad
|
|
5. Open up printer.cfg, search for safe_z_home, on line 393 you should see coordinates. Adjust them to the previous step results.
|
|
6. Save and apply configuration
|
|
7. After new conf is loaded, run **G28 x y z**
|
|
7. Testing probe accuracy
|
|
1. Run **PROBE_ACCURACY** command <- The probe will go close down to bed 10 times. From results you are looking for standard deviation of less than 0.003mm.
