IMPORTANT NOTE:
Levelling the bed is an extremely important step and if it is not done correctly every time, your
prints will fail or be of poor quality
Before you begin to level the Heated Print Bed:
Ensure the springs on all 4 corners of the Heated Print Bed are tightened all the way to the bottom by turning each
thumbwheel anti-clockwise until you can no longer turn them. This reduces the distance between the 2 plates of the print
bed to a minimum. Wipe the top of the Heated Print Bed with a clean, lint-free cloth to ensure no dust particles or other
objects are on the Heated Print Bed
Check the Z axis alignment. The X rail (holding the Extruder) should be parallel to the Heated Print Bed. If it is not, manually
rotate individual z-axis stepper motors on the bottom of both shafts to adjust. Place a Hex Wrench on the z-axis rod and
run it across the Heated Print Bed to check the z-axis is aligned horizontally
Press ‘Level Wizard’ on the touch screen panel and follow the steps as indicated
NOTE:
The distance between the Heated Print Bed and nozzle should be approximately 0.1mm
