Lowering the print bed

Vertex 3D Printer Vertex - Assembly and user manual

Hi Guys,

Just finished the build and the first test are looking very promising :wink:

My question is about reaching and cleaning the nozzle, how do you get easy access ?
The printer starts and ends at the start position which makes the nozzle hard to reach and the menu doesn’t have an option to manually lower the z-axis.

Or does it ?

Hello,

yes there is an option in the printer menu. Go to Control Printer -> Move Axis -> Move 1mm -> Move Z
Then the bed moves by turning the knob.
“Move 10mm” is only X and Y

Great, I hadn’t checked the 1 mm option, thanks :wink:

Or use the Manual Control tab in Repetier to move all axis.
