Updated Nov 27,2024

Issue description

Usually, F1 Ultra's blue and red dots should fall on the same spot. This overlapping creates a purple-like dot. However, if you encounter an issue where the blue and red dots cannot be aligned on the same spot (see the image below), please follow this guide for troubleshooting advice.

 

Troubleshooting

#1 Initialize Z-axis homing 

  1. Connect your F1 Ultra to a computer and launch xTool Creative Space (XCS).
  2. Navigate to the right panel of XCS and click on the setting icon.
  1. In the device settings, navigate to the "Device settings" tab and click on the 'Homing' button to reset the laser module by homing the Z-axis.

Note: DO NOT move the laser module after initialization.

 

#2 Adjust the ball head

  1. Locate the ball head next to the laser outlet (see the image below).
  2. Insert the tip of a screwdriver into the hole of the ball indicated in the image below.
  3. Fine-tune the ball head to adjust the red dot until the red dot overlaps with the blue dot.

Refer to this article or the video below for guidance on adjusting and calibrating the red dot for focusing.
