Nozzle Calibration Nozzle calibration is the process of adjusting the 3D printer’s nozzle to ensure accurate extrusion and optimal print quality. It involves setting the correct nozzle height, checking flow rate, and verifying temperature consistency. Proper calibration prevents issues like under-extrusion, over-extrusion, and layer misalignment. This step is critical for achieving precise dimensions, smooth surfaces, and strong layer adhesion. Tools like calibration cubes and flow rate tests are commonly used. Regular nozzle calibration extends the printer's lifespan and enhances print consistency, especially when changing filaments or nozzles. |
