MAINTENANCE
MakerWare for Digitizer will correct small changes in laser alignment by itself, so you will
probably never need to manually adjust laser alignment. However, if the MakerBot Digitizer
is jarred or shaken the lasers could be misaligned badly enough that they will need to be
manually adjusted.
Contact MakerBot Support by emailing support@makerbot.com and confirm that the
lasers are misaligned before manually adjusting the lasers. The lasers are misaligned if a
laser line is clearly not vertical or if the two laser lines intersect at a point other than the
center of the turntable.
Each laser has two adjustment screws. The inner screw on each side adjusts the direction
of the laser. The outer screw adjusts the angle of the laser. During the laser alignment
process, you will use the T15 Torx driver to adjust the angle and direction of each laser.
TO MANUALLY ADJUST LASER ALIGNMENT
1. Choose Align Lasers from the Scanner menu. Both lasers will turn on.
2. Place the calibration tool on the turntable with the letter A pointing up and fit the tab
on the lower edge of the calibration tool into the hole at the center of the turntable.
Orient the tool so that the front panel faces away from the camera.
3. Adjust the angle of the le laser using the T15 Torx Driver. You will feel the screw click as
the laser turns in increments. Turn the outer adjustment screw [4] so that the laser line
is as vertical as possible. Turn the screw clockwise to turn the laser line clockwise and
turn the screw counter-clockwise to turn the laser line counter-clockwise.
Caution: The range of the angle adjustment screw is limited. Do not use
excessive force to turn the screw.
4. Adjust the direction of the le laser. Turn the inner adjustment screw [3] so that the
laser line lines up with the spine of the calibration tool. Turn the adjustment screw
clockwise to move the laser line to the le or counter-clockwise to move the laser to
the right.
5. Adjust the angle of the right laser. You will feel the screw click as the laser turns in
increments. Turn the outer adjustment screw [1] so that the laser line is as vertical as
possible. Turn the screw clockwise to turn the laser line clockwise and turn the screw
counter-clockwise to turn the laser line counter-clockwise.
