Add a glass panel to bed, how to adjust extruder head height

K8200 3D Printer K8200 - Issues while printing

Hello everyone,

I’d like to add a 3MM glass panel to the bed of my K8200. How do I adjust the extruder head so that it doesn’t damage itself when trying to print?

Does the extruder head / printer / RAMPS board “know” the height of the bed?

I noticed that when I start to print, the extruder head is lowered and momentarily “touches” the bed before it starts.

Simply adjust the z endstop so it stops before the Hotend touches the bed.

Thanks for the response and sorry for the dumb question but how do I adjust the Z endstop? Is that done through Repetier or on the printer itself??

You need to adjust on the printer itself

Got it, thank you!
