Automatic calibration process - Single Plastic Extruder 1.75


Note: Each time after changing the Single plastic extruder to Dual PRO extruder and contrariwise it is recommended to repeat the automatic calibration process.

Note: Before performing the automatic calibration make sure the worktable is clean and prepared

Note: During the automatic calibration process the printer is heating up!


  • Take the calibration cable. Cable is included in the box. Connect the wider connector to the 'RIGHT' frame socket,
