Dremel DigiLab 3D45 Use and care manual

Having th corr ct nozzl gap is vital to achi ving succ ssful prints. Th nozzl gap, also r f rr d to as Z-Gap, is
th distanc of th nozzl to th build platform wh n th first lay r is b ing print d. It is important to nsur that
th first lay r sticks w ll to th build platform, th r for , th nozzl gap n ds to b id al. Too larg of a nozzl
gap may l ad to a not w ll adh r d first lay r, l ading to obj ct shifting, and a too small nozzl gap may l ad to a
non-visibl first lay r, possibly l ading to clogging issu s.
3D45 Nozzle Gap Calibration
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Go to Calibrate screen
From print r hom scr n, navigat to tools, calibrat ,
and th n assist d nozzl calibration. Advanc d us rs
can us th nozzl gap calibration dir ctly (non-assist d
mod ).
Advanc d us rs can mov to St p 4.
Step 2: Open Assisted Nozzle
Calibration screen
a. Apply glu on th build platform. S glu application
bull tin.
b. Ensur l v ling switch is fr of glu r sidu and that
th filam nt has b n load d.
c. L v l th build platform if n d d.
Step 3: Assisted Nozzle Calibration
a. Nozzl will start h ating up in ord r to p rform th
calibration.
b. In this proc ss, thr small r ctangl s will b print d
sid by sid . R ctangl A will b print d with an off-
s t of +0.1mm from th curr nt s tting, R ctangl B
will b print d with no offs t, and R ctangl C will
b print d with a -0.1mm offs t. An additional
r ctangl will b print d nclosing R ctangl s A, B,
and Cin ord r to prim th nozzl and mak sur fil-
am nt is flowing corr ctly b for starting th print.
Step 4: Nozzle Gap Calibration Analysis
a. Onc th print has b n compl t d, th r will b

b. Look at r ctangl s A, B, and Cto d t rmin which offs t has th b st lay r adh sion. Follow th instructions
b low for ach sc nario.
• If yo see little or no filament: If th nozzl is too clos to th build platform, th first lay r will print too
tight to th build plat . Incr as th Nozzl Gap +0.1mm. R p at th Assist d Nozzl Calibration Proc ss
until an optimum nozzl gap has b n achi v d.
• If the first layer is not adhering or gaps between the lines: If th nozzl is too far from th build plat , th
first lay r will not adh r w ll. D cr as th Nozzl Gap -0.1mm. R p at th Assist d Nozzl Calibration
Proc ss until an optimum nozzl gap has b n achi v d.
• Ideal nozzle gap distance: First lay r will b adh ring and b visibl . Lin s should not look lik th y w r
pr ss d against th build platform.
