Build plate offset Adjustment (Omega I60)

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


  1. Build plate Offset Values.

    Confirm that the build plate offset adjustment is set to 0 and save the value.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    DUAL-B-Scenario

    Scenario B

    The Right printhead adhesion is okay, but the Left one is either too far or too close.

    DUAL-A-Scenario

    Scenario C

    Both the Left and Right printheads do not print the first layer well. Between them, the error is the same, and they are equally adhered or detached.

    DUAL-C-Scenario

     

  5. Confirm the results of the adjustment

    After applying the adjustments proposed by the BCN3D support team, run a new print test and share the results with us: omega-assistance@bcn3d.com
