A deep dive into adjusting the Z height on your resin printer when installing our FBSR or XTR. We cover the what, when, where, why, & how to adjust your Z limit switch & what to do if you skipped this step already!
Since you are adding about 2.6 mm on our original kits (or 3.8 mm on our XTR kits) to the bottom of your build plate you may need to adjust your Z stop. Some build plates have enough play in the leveling screws to absorb this, but on some, you may need to physically move your Z Stop Sensor or tripper plate to account for this extra distance, each machine is different. Be sure after installing a new Z stop sensor extension to re-level your build plate! Please note, when installing a Z stop sensor extension you may also need two longer M3 x 8 screws since they may not be long enough to add the spacer.
Below you will find a list of printable Z stop sensor extensions and a list of confirmed machines that only need a re-level your build plate.

*Some Mars 2 Pro machines use the same z height trigger as the Mars 3 and should use the Mars 3 spacer*
The auto-leveling works with the Wham Bam FBSR attached, but to be sure you never bottom out, you can print this spacer to add to your z-limit interceptor arm:

Locate the screws identified in the picture and loosen them enough to slide the metal plate down 2.6 mm so that it will trigger the optical sensor sooner to give enough room for the installed kit. Then relevel the build plate and you are good to go!
**Some E6 users did not have enough clearance, use this spacer if needed.

There are two versions of the interceptor arm on the Saturn and you can identify which you need using the picture.
To modify the Z Limit on the Mage, the best solution is to locate the Z Limit switch found at the top of the Z axis, make a mark on the frame 3mms above for the FBSR or 4mms above for the XTR, unscrew the limit switch, back it with strong double stick tape, clean the frame with isopropyl alcohol, and glue it to the new line.
Anycubic Photon Mono X
Some of our Mono X users experienced issues with adhesion on the build plate. One of our beta testers put together this Photon Mono X guide on how to remedy it. They also go into details on if and when you would need a spacer to adjust for the added height.
