XY-Off sets for extruder T1
The XY calibration prepares the machine for dual extrusion. The calibration must
be done by the user aft er replacing the extruder or hotend and aft er any relocation
of the printer. It can also be done if a wrong off set between the nozzles is recog-
nized while using dual extrusion.

Step 1: Calculate the off sets with a resolution of 0.5 mm
– Print the G-code
of 0.5 mm.
– When the print is finished, do not take it off the bed!
– Identify the off sets. The shapes printed with Extruders T0 and T1 should
just match in one point. Identify the point in which they match and
write down the off set using the template below. (Fig. 7-3)
– Go to the Advanced Menu, update the off sets and save.
