I’m using SM2.0-A350. If you once hit the table hard by the nozzle or cnc-tool, you should level x-axis linear module again.  
I found tilt x-axis when I carve the object. It cut well in the left side, but insufficiency around 0.5mm in the right .  
I came back to the install manual again, remove x-axis linear module, slide both z-axis linear module to the full-top by hand. Then install them again. Finally, the level fixed again with only \<0.1mm level. Is it the right way?  
I remember I once hit the table hard by cnc-tool in the right side, the tool was broken and maybe the right side of z-axis was misaligned(rise), I guess. Of course you should check the table, too.

You are absolutely right.  
For me it is enough to push the x-axis to the end of the z-axis by hand when the machine is powered off.

You shouldn’t have to remove the x-axis.  
For me I’ve never had to do anything but home on mine, but some people have different results.  
Raising the x-axis all the way to the top manually can work.  
Search the forum for ‘tramming’ for the other way of doing this.

Thank you xchrisd & sdj544. I will do better way in the next time based on your advices.  
I’m not a native speaker so I could not hit ‘tramming’ as a key word, but I will check!  
The SM2.0 connects 2 liner module as simple parallel, we don’t have any software controlled ‘tramming’ adjustment. It’s a one discussion point against the implement costs or other difficulties, isn’t it?

And we never will. Tramming is a hardware procedure informed by measurement tools.

Hi eh9, All right, I should purchase the ‘dial gauge’.

No need for dial gauge .

> Just thought I’d share a picture of how I tram X now. This is fast and precise to do before I turn the machine on and home. Yesterday I deliberately left it 0.01mm low on the close side, and I could easily slide the far block under X, but the close side was too tight and the block hit the side. On the touchscreen I raised the Z height by 0.1mm and was easily able to slide both blocks in. Not making any claims on exactly how precise this is, as I’m aware of a slight rotation in the Y m…

He’s using engineering blocks but any two things of the same size (soup cans, coke cans have close enough tolerances) will work.

Just make sure not to “pop” one. Imagine the mess that would be…

Thank you sdj544 & Artezio. That’s smart, I can make a good saving! I’ll try.  
And I agree, handle with care if the coke cans on the machine.  
I found I have spent not enough time to read whole of the forum. Thank you again.
