Step 1 Before you start with Multi-Tool

This chapter shows a brief description of the wizard. Please note that the screenshots are illustrative and might differ from those in the firmware.

Make sure you are running Firmware 4.7.0 or newer

Some parts of the wizard must be done multiple times, this depends on the number of tool-heads. For example:

⬢Dock Calibration

⬢Loadcell calibration

⬢Filament sensor calibration

Step 2 Preparing the printer

Make sure that the printer is placed in a stable place where no ambient vibrations are transmitted (for example, where other printers are printing).

⬢From the rear side of the printer, plug in the PSU cable.

⬢Turn the power switch ON (symbol "I").

Step 3 Wizard

⬢After the printer starts up, the screen prompts for the printer test and setup wizard.

The wizard will test all important components of the printer. The whole process takes a few minutes. Some parts of the wizard require direct user interaction. Follow the instruction on the screen.

NOTE: While testing the axes, make sure that there is nothing in the printer that is obstructing the movement of the axes.

WARNING: Do not touch the printer during the wizard unless prompted! Some parts of the printer may be HOT and moving at high speed.

Step 4 Wizard: Dock Position Calibration

⬢You will need:

⬢Universal wrench (1x)

⬢Mini wrench (1x)

⬢Dock calibration will guide you through how to properly calibrate the position of individual tool heads on the printer.

It is necessary to follow every step in the dock calibration properly! Do not rush, read every step twice, then proceed with the instruction.

Step 5 Wizard: Loosen pin

⬢Follow the wizard instructions on the screen.

⬢Using a Mini wrench, unscrew both dock pins on Dock 1.

Step 6 Wizard: Loosen screws

⬢Follow the wizard instructions on the screen.

⬢Using a Uni wrench, loosen two screws. A few turns are enough.

Step 7 Wizard: Lock the tool

⬢Follow the wizard instructions on the screen.

⬢Manually move the Tool changing mechanism to the first tool.

⬢Manually lock the metal bars as described in the picture.

The tool has to be locked in the tool changer.

Step 8 Wizard: Tighten the upper screw

⬢Follow the wizard instructions on the screen.

⬢Using a Uni wrench, tighten the upper screw on a side of the dock.

After confirming by the continue button on the LCD, the XY axis will leave the dock with the tool. Clear the space.

Step 9 Wizard: Tighten the lower screw

⬢Follow the wizard instructions on the screen.

⬢Using a Uni wrench, tighten the lower screw on a side of the dock.

Step 10 Wizard: Install pins

⬢Follow the wizard instructions on the screen.

⬢Insert the two metal pins and tighten them with a Mini wrench.

⬢After clicking on the continue button on the LCD, the printer will put back the tool into the dock1 and do a few calibration moves.

Step 11 Wizard: Dock successfully calibrated

⬢Good job! The Dock1 is calibrated.

⬢According to the number of print heads, the dock calibration process is repeated.

⬢The next step of the wizard will prompt you to touch the nozzle to test and calibrate the Loadcell. During this procedure, the parts of the printer are not heated, you can touch the parts of the printer. Click on Continue.

You can look at the nozzle while you wait, the printer will make a sound when you need to touch the nozzle.

⬢Do not touch the nozzle yet, wait until prompted with the message: Tap the nozzle NOW.

⬢Slightly tap the nozzle. No need to use extra force. In case the Loadcell does not detect enough touch, you will be prompted to repeat the step. Otherwise, you will see Loadcell test passed OK when it succeeds.

⬢According to the number of print heads, the loadcell test process is repeated.

Step 13 Wizard: Calibrate Filament Sensors

⬢During the calibration of the filament sensors, you will be prompted to use at least 130 cm of filament. Hint: Use the Prusament shipped with your printer and hang it directly on the spool holder.

⬢When you have prepared the filament, click on YES.

⬢Wait for the printer to prompt you to insert the filament into the side filament sensor.

Step 14 Wizard: Calibrate Filament Sensors

⬢Now, insert the filament into the side filament sensor and push it until it reaches the filament sensor in the extruder (you will feel a slight resistance).

⬢You can check the side filament sensor (left) and extruder filament sensor (right) status on the bottom bar on the screen.

According to the number of print heads, the filament sensor calibration is repeated.

⬢All filament sensors are successfully calibrated and tested. Click on CONTINUE.
