Calibrations

A macro is a small program written in Klipper/Gcode language.

It can be called from:

A GCODE file
The Fluidd/Mainsail console (press the English letter C in Fluidd)

Note

The value in parentheses is the default value

Tip

Printer Calibration for Beginners

BED_LEVEL_SCREWS_TUNE¶

Bed screw leveling calibration (guide). Parameters:

EXTRUDER_TEMP — extruder temperature (default: 240)
BED_TEMP — bed temperature (default: 80)

Measures the distance between the nozzle and bed screws, provides adjustment instructions, saves temperatures to avoid reheating, and waits for user confirmation. Users must manually reset temperatures after completion.

LOAD_CELL_TARE¶

Reset load cell weight. Used during bed calibration.

PID_TUNE_BED¶

Bed PID calibration.

TEMPERATURE — bed temperature (default: 80)

Automatically calls SAVE_CONFIG after calibration. See also NEW_SAVE_CONFIG.

To disable auto-save, use:

PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=heater_bed TARGET={temperature}

PID_TUNE_EXTRUDER¶

Extruder PID calibration. Parameters:

TEMPERATURE — extruder temperature (default: 245)
COOLER — fan speed (0-100, default: 100)

Calibrate PID at your printing temperature and cooling settings. Automatically calls SAVE_CONFIG after calibration.

To disable auto-save, use:

PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=extruder TARGET={temperature}

ZSHAPER¶

Input shaper calibration. Results are stored in:

calibration_data_x.png
calibration_data_y.png
CSV files

Read fix_scv

Graph visualization tool.

BELTS_SHAPER_CALIBRATION¶

CoreXY belt frequency analysis using a half-axis test.

SPECTROGRAM — 0 = disable spectrogram, 1 = enable (default: 1)

Requirements:

256 MB RAM
Enabled SWAP

KAMP¶

Adaptive bed mesh calibration with nozzle cleaning. Parameters:

EXTRUDER_TEMP — extruder temperature (default: 240)
BED_TEMP — bed temperature (default: 80)

Usage in Orca: Add as the first line:

KAMP EXTRUDER_TEMP=[nozzle_temperature_initial_layer] BED_TEMP=[bed_temperature_initial_layer_single]

Recommended: Use START_PRINT with SAVE_ZMOD_DATA PRINT_LEVELING=1 USE_KAMP=1 and SAVE_ZMOD_DATA CLEAR=LINE_PURGE to utilize purge areas.

Bed leveling options

AUTO_FULL_BED_LEVEL¶

Full bed leveling with nozzle cleaning. Parameters:

EXTRUDER_TEMP — extruder temperature (default: 230)
BED_TEMP — bed temperature (default: 80)
PROFILE — mesh profile name (default: auto)

Usage in Orca:

AUTO_FULL_BED_LEVEL EXTRUDER_TEMP=[nozzle_temperature_initial_layer] BED_TEMP=[bed_temperature_initial_layer_single]
M190 S[bed_temperature_initial_layer_single]
M104 S[nozzle_temperature_initial_layer]

Recommended: Use START_PRINT with SAVE_ZMOD_DATA PRINT_LEVELING=1.

Bed leveling options

LOAD_ZOFFSET_NATIVE¶
