Menue explained ?

Hi. Does anyone know, what the setting „siliconesock“ on/off does ?

2nd.  What does the printer do when the display says: nozzle cleaning.  (He is cleaning the nozzle :).  But I can‘t see what the „tipping „ of the nozzle is good for.

I don't have a MK4, but the option for the silicone sock should be set according to whether you have a silicone sock fitted on the hot end (or not). The setting allows the printer's thermal model to compensate for that (or not).

The nozzle cleaning ensures that there is no detritus on the nozzle that could reduce the accuracy of the measurements that are made when the nozzle probes the bed to do the first layer calibration.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Tim
