Home Cycle Problem/Question
Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2019 4:36 pm
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what exactly the home cycle process involves on my Solus printer.
I suspect that my printer has a problem with the home cycle process but as I do not really know what it should be doing during this process, I'm unsure what I should be expecting. At the moment, my printer lowers the build stage down until it hits the switch that is poking up. At that point, it stops and appears to do nothing for about a minute until eventually the motor appears to turn off. I do have the resin vat and the film holder off during this process.
My current understanding of the process is that the home cycle should lower the build platform down until the platform hits the mechanical switch that I see poking up underneath it. I assumed it would do some calibration that would take ~10-20 seconds and then raise itself again but mine obviously is not.
So am I missing something obvious or should I contact help for a potential mechanical failure?
Thanks for any info.
