Calibrating Extruder with Printer Bred

Post by Khilborn »

So the printer in built, firmware loaded all axis's going in the correct direction when I hit home button. The only problem now is actually printing. If I try and print the extruder has no clue where the printer board is. I can seem to find anything in the manual or on the wiki that really shows you how to calibrate the xyz in relation to the printer bed. Right now when I print a job, the extruder is about an inch above the printer bed..... Please help and point me in the direction where there are instructions on how to calibrate the xyz axis in relation to the printer bed such that when I print a job the extruder actually prints on the bed.

Please check if the jumper caps under z motor driver are well connected, 3 in all.
When you move the z axis alone via LCD (prepare>move axis>1mm> move z), is it moving fluently?

That is not what I was asking for. Anyways since it takes you guys WAY TO LONG to approve post I have found out from this website how to calibrate the printer.

IF you guys would just add Captcha to new threads and allow them to be shown without approval people would get help quicker on this site.
