Abstract

Calibration and control of a 3D printing device is disclosed. In one aspect, sensor-based feedback may be used to iteratively determine and align line height calibration settings of the 3D printing device. In another aspect, the 3D printing device may include an instruction pre-processor to detect placeholder data in received machine instructions and to replace the placeholder data with instructions that are executable by the 3D printing device.
