1. SuperPINDA sensor height adjustment

Step 1 of 8 (Chapter 8 of 9)

Contents

Comments

⬢Using your fingers turn the lead screw and move the entire X-axis down. Stop when the hotend touches the heatbed! Avoid bending the heatbed!

⬢Release slightly the screw on the MINI-minda-holder so you are able to adjust the position of the SuperPINDA sensor.

⬢Take a zip tie from the package and place it under the SuperPINDA sensor. Use the middle part of the zip tie, not the tip.

⬢Gently press the SuperPINDA sensor down against the zip tie.

⬢Tighten the screw on the MINI-minda-holder. Do not use excessive force. Otherwise, you can break the printed part!

⬢Rotate the lead screw manually in the opposite direction to move the axis at least 5 mm up.

I had to loosen the sensor clamping screw far enough that the head came out of the counter bore to allow the sensor to be easily adjusted.

I am pretty sure we are talking abot the Z axis, not the X axis.
Or -- I am really confused.

You are moving the X axis along the Z to get the X axis to the correct height to adjust the probe. It can be a bit confusing, but hopefully the images help :)

How can I adjust the super Pinda when it's connected to a wire that's tucked inside a sleeve? It exerts an opposite force to rotate the PINDA against the direction I'm trying to twist it to calibrate it.

Hello. The SuperPINDA cable must not be taut, try rearranging the cable and leave there a small slack.

Don't twist the PINDA probe, just move it up and down.

The PINDA is screwed in so how is it supposed to move without twisting? Pushing down on it just bends the hole assembly.

Hello. By releasing the screw in the PINDA holder, the PINDA will have enough play to move up and down with a little push, without screwing it.

I have the same problem. Even without the screw the PINDA holder is too tight.

Fun fact: when I turn the lead screw vigorously enough, the LCD display briefly flashes white :)

all electric motors also act as electric generators when manually rotated. You should take care not to do this too much, though, as it may result in unfiltered power surges that could damage electronics. It is best to rotate slowly enough to avoid the flashes.

Putting on a pair of rubber kitchen gloves (as suggested earlier by someone else about putting the extruder tubes in) really helped me "get a grip" an turn the X Axis by hand more easily.

Great tip, it should be in the instructions!!
