Quick Start Guide - Funmat HT

Note: This guide is from 2019, but still applies today. For the most recent information, give us a call. We plan to update this page entirely in early 2021. The video below is the basic principles you should start with, for now!

 

Auto-Level Sensor Calibration

Make sure you perform level sensor calibration EVERYTIME anything about the hotend has changed.......New nozzle, heatbreak, hotend, even loosening the hotend mounting screws......it only takes a few seconds, and can save your glass buildplate and/or leveling switch. 

 

1. Go to "Material" and select PLA
2. DO NOT Load Filament
3. Ensure Machine is at Room Temperature
4. Make sure that Nozzle is unobstructed by the extruder shroud
5. Select "Auto-Level Sensor Calibration" form Build Plate Leveling menu
6. Machine will warm itself up
7. Manually trigger the auto-level switch by pushing up on nozzle (only for April 2019 Firmware update)
8. If you lose the leveling card, it is a 0.2mm gap - you can use a standard feeler gauge for this
9. Adjust jog wheel until nozzle is close to leveling card -- exact distance (this is very important - barely any resistance should be felt)
10. Click Next, and the process should be completed
11. Proceed to Manually level the build plate under buildplate>manual level
12. Once manual leveling is complete you MUST proceed to initiate and complete an autoleveling sequence.

In short:

• Select the material you plan to use under the material selection screen
• Perform Level Sensor Calibration
• Performan Manual Leveling 
• Perform Auto Leveling

This process MUST be completed before printing or you risk breaking your glass, leveling switch, and hotend.
