Calibration
Is this part of commissioning? Is this part of Builders/Config/Config Axes?
To calibrate, you will need the following: a Rep(st)rap, a slide caliper, and printing material (ABS, PLA, HDPE, etc).
You will also need this object file to print out.
- Setup and load your printing material.
- Print the calibration object.
- Allow the object to cool.
- Use the slide caliper to measure each edge and the diagonals.
- Make a note of each measurement and this will allow you to determine where a problem is IF there is a problem.
With the above measurements, you should be able to determine any alignment issues. The sides should measure withing .5mm of 40mm.
The best place to go to figure out how to fix your issue, once you've identified it, is either to ask someone in the forums, or on IRC, if you prefer. Then come back here and make this page better, or complain to the forum users.
Once you get a simple cube printed adequately, you might consider trying a more difficult object such as the bearing clip 01 for more fine-tuning.
