Y-Axis Homing Y-axis homing is the process of moving the print head or build plate to a known reference position along the Y-axis, ensuring accurate positioning and layer alignment. It uses limit switches, optical sensors, or hall effect sensors to detect the home position. Proper homing ensures consistent layer placement, dimensional accuracy, and print reliability. Advanced printers feature sensorless homing, touch probes, or magnetic encoders for high-precision homing. Proper configuration enhances repeatability, stability, and print quality. Y-axis homing is essential for multi-material integration, complex geometries, and high-resolution prints. |
