Steps to Rehome the Coater

1. Identify the Issue:

  • If the coater has moved from its zero point (between the powder and building axis), it will be misaligned, and homing points will not work correctly.

 

2. Manually Reposition the Coater:

  • Manually move the coater back to its original position using the small wheel gauge or by inputting specific values.

 

3. Ensure Proper Alignment:

  • Make sure the coater is correctly positioned between the axes.

 

4. Rehome the Coater:

  • Go to: Settings > Coater > Home Direct
  • This will return the coater to its original position.

By following these steps, the coater will be rehomed, and homing points will align correctly.
