If the first layer of your print is too close to the build plate, the Build Plate Offset Adjustment menu will allow you to increase or reduce the offset of your Z-axis.
Warning! This article is intended for advanced users who have specific queries.
In case you want to print in Duplication/Mirror modes, this article should not be followed. Check if the Z print heads offset is 0. If not, you will need to install shims.
You can find more information in the article: How to install shims in the Omega
- Build plate Offset Values.
Confirm that the build plate offset adjustment is set to 0 and save the value. - Check Z offset consistency.
Perform three Z autocalibrations. Between each calibration, go to Print Head Offset Adjustment and note the Z-axis values. Check if the Z offset values are consistent. - Dual mode print test.
Download this project file and slice it to perform a Dual mode print test. After that, please check the following table. - Check the error table.
This table will be useful to understand your problem and make the necessary adjustments in order to have a better first layer.
LEFT HEAD RIGHT HEAD EXAMPLE ✘ ✔ Scenario A
The Left printhead adhesion is either too far or too close, while the Right one is ok.
✔ ✘ Scenario B
The Right printhead adhesion is okay, but the Left one is either too far or too close.
