Slice Offset Setting
When printing models, if there is a deviation between the actual and theoretical size of the model on the X or Y axis, it can be calibrated by Offset X/Offset Y on Advanced Settings.
Background:
- (1) Calculation Formulas:
- Value of Offset X: target length of printing object in x-axis divides actual length of printing object in x-axis
- Value of Offset Y: target length of printing object in y-axis divides actual length of printing object in y-axis
- If there is still deviation after printing with offset function, please adjust offset value and try again to get target object.
- (2) The diagram is showing the certain slice before and after Offset. The red dotted line is the original section and the white is the section after Offset.
- (3) The slice is finally displayed on the LCD screen and printed. The offset value is effective, depending on the actual position of the model and the resolution of the LCD screen.
- If Offset X or Offset Y is 1.0, nothing to be done.
- If Offset X/Offset Y value is more than 1, the slice will be magnified in X and Y axis with the center of the platform as the reference point. For example: If Offset X is 1.02 and Offset Y is 1.01, the slice will be magnified 1.02 times in the X axis and 1.01 in the Y axis.
- If Offset X/Offset Y value is less than 1 , the slice will be minified in X and Y axis with the center of the platform as the reference point. For example: If Offset X is 0.98 and Offset Y is 0.99, the slice will be minified to 98% of original size in the X axis and 99% in the Y axis.
