In the last part of this short series, we looked at the setup and commissioning. We also used an example project to illustrate the functionality of the first available module – the pen holder. Today we continue with exactly that, but with a different attachment and module. If you missed the first part, you can catch up on it here:
xTool M1 Ultra 4-in-1 tinkering machine in test – Part 1: Commissioning and pen mode
Initial setup and problems
Of course, this module also needs to be commissioned and calibrated first; the wizard opens automatically when a corresponding project is started.
It also shows us what is needed so that we can get it ready.
We take the 3mm thick lime wood from the envelope, which contains all the supplied material samples.
You can certainly get hold of a sheet of paper yourself.
And unfortunately, the previously very even way of setting up the M1 Ultra became a little bumpy, because the cross created by the ink module should certainly not look like this.
As it didn’t get any better despite several attempts, I continued with the wooden plate for the time being.
So I switched to the other base and placed the plate as shown.
Maybe it’s too damp in my cellar or I’m just unlucky with the material sample, but the board is certainly not flat. So I’m not surprised that the print head pushes it around instead of printing on it.
Here, too, I carried on for the time being, as I didn’t have much choice. But I didn’t feel like high-fiving.
But on with the set-up, now I wanted to print test strips on paper.
And here, too, I didn’t get the desired result.
I then cleaned the ink cartridge as described in the wiki and tried again. Better, but still not really optimal.
This is what my first project looked like, not exactly satisfactory..
