If you have tried calibrating the Mini and adjusting the Z-axis offset, but you are still having issues. For example, prints won’t stick to the print bed, or the tape on the printing bed has been scratched, we recommend following this guide to adjust your X-axis support.


Connect to a PC, open XYZware, and click on Printer monitor > Setup > Jog mode. Then click Home axes.

Check and make sure the Extruder module has returned to its home position.
