This has saved my sanity, my printer, and my job haha. I've found other videos out there but this one helped me the most. Thank you so much!

Thank you this is the most simple and useful information

this video is the best, its short, gives you exact steps and best of all it sets your z offset! thank you .

put a feather in your hat son you are a genius.... strict and to the point with no BS Fantastic work.

Sir, i applaud and thank you very much for this gem of a video. i bought myself this exact unit and ive done many prints but never been happy with the initial layer. i also found that prints were coming unstuck from the base and even bought some adhesive which worked but still unhappy with bottom layer. since following your video i have now prints with a flawless foot.

Thank-you for your guide. I am having real bad issues with the PLA adhering to the bed. Your guide makes the most sense out of all of them & I have recommended people look for your vid in my Amazon review

@@1937Brett Sure. For me I had to have the bed all the way up at 70c for any print, or it would not stick. Also make sure your build plate is clean, wash it with an old fasdhioned bar of soap, don't use a handwash gel as they usually have oils in. After that I gave a rub down with Isopropyl alcohol. Provided your Z-offset is Ok, your prints should really stick after that.

great video, you should do more tutorials, very easy and right to the point, i hate videos that are like 15 minutes to explain a process that only needs 3 minutes to explain , thanks , a video explaining how tight the belts and the Z axis wheels should be would be much appreciated if you ever have the time to do it

Near this topic, wondering if you see the same thing. I got the Kobra Go with ABL. It sucks out of the box, the bed level deviation is 2-3 mm across the board, and the ABL doesn't compensate for this enough, one side will be smashing the filament and the opposite gapping. I can see the Z-axis moving, so it's running the mesh during prints, but not good enough. I got the yellow bed springs installed where the stock bed standoffs were, then did a manual bed level with the PEI spring sheet (it's not flat either, so got to measure with that sheet on), and after getting the bed flat manually, I run the ABL and see the mesh map is much better within 0.3 mm of each other. Still I'll run ABL to compensate for the middle. I did a full bed flatness test print and it is perfection everywhere I'm really impressed.

thank you sooo much I was trying to work it out for hours until i saw yo video really thank you ❤❤❤

Thanks a lot, that's what I've been looking for

Holy shit THANK YOU. I've spent the last hour messing with the z offset thinking I was doing it too much and it wasn't working, only to find out I needed to crank it a lot more. Working now.

Yup! Same here, had to crank it way down using the z offset knob with the paper below the nozzle. Thought I'd bought a messed-up machine. Talking over 1 1/2 millimeter down. Weird!

Hello, thanks for the video, it helped me a lot. I've had a Kobra Neo for 3 days and I'm almost desperate about leveling the nozel. is never really shown where. after your video it finally worked. thanks for the video. Many greetings from Germany

Thank you so much for making this video, it helped me out a ton!

going to give this a go thanks for posting was on it for over 6 hours yesterday used the filament that came with it and some of a spool i bought gave up at 6am works ok just won't stick to the bed gets about 8 layers up on the bottom of the owel when the nozzle touches it slightly its moves it from the heat plate 😂

OMG THIS HELPED SO MUCH TYSM😭😭

Thanks so much only your video help me :D

Great video. But have a question. When I go back to z offset I still get a reading of 0.000. When I start the print I have to manually adjust it to the bed so it sticks. Why is this

thanks mate, I will try this !! 👍👍

Please make more video on the neo❤️❤️❤️

Thanks a lot its worked for me

Thank you friend!!

Thank you for this easy to follow video, this may be a stupid question but do i have to do this before every print on this machine? And should i use the auto level function after following these steps? Thanks in advance

Thanks so much ❤❤❤❤❤

Wow wish I found this out sooner

Thank you!

Hey Chris, I just got my Neo, and was wondering do i have to reset the z axis every time i turn on the unit? MY owl came out beautiful but alot of my smaller pieces like simple dice are notworking well

@TwistedRealityDesigns

Жыл бұрын

I've only had to reset my z axis offset one time and it was following after a firmware update

When i did the same 2 months ago it damdaged my bed with nozle becasue zero on z-axis in idling state is different from when it's printing. In idle it's higher and when i set offset and started printing it tried to go under bed. It might be just a malfunction in my case but better adjust it like it's shown in instruction - while printing. Luckily magnetic cover is double sided. That time i also set something about -4 or -5mm offset, now it's running on -1.18

The bed (metal) expands when it's hot. Also, the bed itself can be manually adjusted, so no one should take the exact number in the video - that's just relative to where his bed is at that particular time, and as long as it's not adjusted afterwards (e.g. he leaves it that way, doesn't move the printer, etc). The key thing to remember is the distance between the nozzle and the bed for your particular set up. (It might be -5M, -.02M, +.05MM or whatever).

Hello, I am trying to do the same, We have autolevelled twice and then measured the Z offset. But while printing the nozzle scratches the surface. Could you please give a step by step procedure for the correct way to measure the Z offset so that it prints without scratching. Also do we have to change the settings of the proximity center ??

I like this guide but I’m still having issue where the back left corner is to far and the front right is too close regardless of how many times I paper level or auto level

I tried this and it looks fine. But as soon I hit print the printer changes the z offset to the point it scrapes the bed. I been trying to print for 3 days now but no luck. Not my first 3d printer but the first one I haven't been able to make work.

its strange watching the videos the settings for all the neo kobra should be all the same my z is -1.72 had trouble with mine start up psu fan loud for about 15 seconds lately but then gets quiet non responsive display when you turn the knob im going to save get the pursa 3d printer i think kit form is a bit cheaper something to do.

noctua fans are MUCH quieter, but they run at a higer voltage, so youll have to buy a buck converter to solder in line. If you can handle that the difference is night and day. Also buy a concrete paver stone and some foam, put the foam on sturdy table or desk and the concrete block on top of foam. place printer on block. Printing sounds will be muted drastically

So basically what i did to get it right was to remove the filament and start a print at slow speed and adjust the z offset with a piece of paper while it was empty printing. It is now printing the owl perfect with a -1.30 z offset rather than the -4.90 that I got by following this video and ruining one side of the bed plate cover.

Z offset lower (without touching the buildplate, but with less room than the first layer) and use a brim of several mm. That's what works for me. Would be interested in other solutions though.

I have sort of the same problem, although most of my prints work well. I do slice my objects with a large brim (7 or 8 mm). This way the print remains sticky enough to not fail. On the upside, I do not have to chisel it off the buildplate, but can simply pick it up with just a little resistance.

You guys that have made these videos showing to center the printhead and adjust a z offset until your nozzles correct sure you can get a print like that but if you have a power failure and need to restart the print your z offset is messed up again in the middle of the print so that's not the correct way to do this

z offset for me is -1.76

I did this and then my unit crashed in the z. Cool
