I just received and installed the bracing kit in my A350. Very happy with the fit and finish. I started the machine up and first thing I did was go to settings and make sure I selected the “bracing kit installed” option. I then ran an auto calibration (I only do 3D printing) but noticed the Y axis didn’t compensate for the tool head being moved in the negative Y direction. I figured the machine would compensate for the braces since the Y travel and Z travel are reduced. When I started a print the initial idle position (where it goes to before it purges and travels to the first location) was correct and not shifted in the Y negative direction. However when it started printing the location of the model was shifted in the Y negative direction, when it is centers in my slicer.
What’s odd is I just now turned off auto calibration and ran it again, and when the printhead got to the first position it seems as if it had made a compensation in the Y axis. Does anyone know why it might be applied only to manual leveling and not auto? Or will there be an update to correct the machine’s position when auto leveling with the bracing kit?
I also wanted to ask what I should do with my slicer settings. I use Cura and I want to make sure everything is corrected to avoid issues. I measured the offset from each brace as ~0.25" and reduced the Z height by that, and the Y by 0.5". Are there any other changes to be made? or is the Y not even affected? I am not sure if the nozzle can reach the Y positive limit of the bed.
Do I need to adjust the printhead settings in Cura? maybe by changing these it can update the position of the nozzle?
