Re: [SOLVED]: Nozzle calibration always fails

After understand how the optical calibration works, now it rocks! I was able to calibrate all the nozzle, with a different setup of the video processing effect and slighly changing the vision table (I didn't use the alternate function, so I inserted smaller diameters). Would you be so kind and shar...

Movement Accuracy Evaluation

What ballpark accuracy should I expected from optical home dot calibration and a fully calibrated machine (squareness, slack compensation all enabled)?
