Topic: Adjust extruder height on Workbench Apprentice

Does anyone know the process for slightly adjusting the extruder height? My left extruder is slightly lower than the right, so that when I print with only the right extruder the left one drags across everything and pushes the bed down. I was planning to just loosen them both if that's easy enough, bring the bed to 0, rest them on the bed, and tighten them back up.

Re: Adjust extruder height on Workbench Apprentice

I already answered on your other thread, but I'll answer here as well in case others need it. Let me know if you still need help on this.


You have the right idea with resting them on the bed. It's not so important that they are level, but more important that they are parallel with the bed - since SoliTouch will compensate for the bed being potentially unlevel.

Alternatively, you can adjust the bed to match the extruders instead of adjusting the extruders to match the bed. IMO, it's easier to turn a few wingnuts rather than loosen the barrels and attempt to move them precisely.
