Hi All
i'm trying after making some adjustments to somethign else to recalibtate my dual nozzles in sailfish firmware.
my 'X' is way out.
i've selected '1' on the X value about 4 times now and reprinted my test print and its still far out.
is the setting saved immedeialty or is some sort of reboot required to action the new setting ..

also is there a better way to calibrate duel nozzles than this ? i have used a small stl i have to do it however it takes to long compared to waht is meant to be the way from the repg script

still not getting very far with this.
driving me nuts.
each time on the nozzle calibraion print position 1 or 2 is nearest .. i've verified the settings are changing in repg machine info .. and still wrong when printing .. tried from 29 all the way upto 36
it was all ok yesterday and claibrated with no problem

You have to set it in the firmware. I'm pretty sure you can do this from the LCD menu. If the changes you are making aren't having any affect, then you are doing something wrong.

in my 2nd day of trying to calibrate dual nozzles now
tried pretty much everything.
upgraded and downgraded sailfish firmwares.
tryed rep 1 dual and dream forge settings.
tried manualy setting offsets on repg and saving and doing from lcd ..
nothing seems to make any difference

after much messing around , and a complete roll of pla haha
i'm nearly there
something has reversed my settings so that when the repg showed x to be to high it was really to low, ie each time it looked like i needed to enter 2 as the offset i was making it worse.
