Delete any files on the SD card and copy these files onto the SD card.
-
With the printer powered down, insert the SD card into the display with the adaptor.
-
-
-
1. Wipe the SD card and put an empty text file named reset.txt onto it.
-
2. Power off the printer, insert the SD card into the display and power on again.
-
3. After the reset, power down, wipe the SD card, and copy the firmware files again and retry the installation.
-
-
-
Select terminal.
-
Send an M119 command.
-
You should receive back that X and Y endstops are open.
-
The Z probe should also be open, and the filament sensor should be triggered (as there's no filament loaded).
-
-
-
Move the tool head to the bottom left as shown.
-
You should receive the following back with the X and Y endstops reporting as triggered.
-
-
-
Use a piece of filament to check that the sensor is working.
-
Sending M119 should return back OPEN.
-
-
-
Place a metal object underneath the probe.
-
The LED on the probe should now light up.
-
With the metal object still under the probe, send the M119 command again - it should return as TRIGGERED.
-
-
-
In the menu go to Movement
-
Click on Move
-
Set the motion increments to 10mm.
-
-
-
Before homing the Z-axis, manually raise the platform to meet the tool carriage at the centre of the print platform.
-
The platform should trigger the probe (red light comes on) before the tip of the nozzle touches the flexplate.
-
With the above confirmed, home the Z-axis from the display.
-
-
-
Do this using two pliers. Use one to hold the heater block, use the other to tighten the nozzle.

Place a sheet of paper under the nozzle.
-
Lower the nozzle (raise the bed) in 0.1mm increments until the sheet of paper is trapped between the nozzle and platform. Feel free to drop down to 0.01mm for finer tuning.
-
In our case, we had to lower the nozzle by just 0.1mm before this happened.
-
-
-
Press next until the save button appears.
-
Press the save button and then press OK to save the offset to the printers' memory.

The drill hole for the included HW-273 board is missing. You got it on the pictures, but it is not drilled
That board mounts to the side of the PSU with the 3d printed mount. Instructions for it are to be released soon in the OctoPi guide.
