Leveling the Print Platform
Before calibrating the nozzle height, always check the vertical nozzle distance from each corner
and center of the print platform. Open the Maintenance dialog box from the 3D Print menu and
click the Center button to begin the leveling process.
If you already know the nozzle height, enter that height minus 2mm in the To: box, then click the
To: button. If your nozzle height is 135.3, for example, enter 133.3.
If you do not yet know the nozzle height, Click the To: button to bring the platform to the displayed
height, then slowly increment the height until the platform is about 2 mm from the nozzle, clicking
To: after each increase.
Use the five position buttons to check that the platform at all four corners and the center are the
same distance from the nozzle.
If the platform is not the same distance from the nozzle at all five
points, you will need to adjust the platform until it is level.
There are 3 thumbscrews under the platform that are used to
level the platform.
Loosening a thumbscrew will raise the related corner of the
platform, while tightening the thumbscrew will lower the same
part of the platform. Adjust the thumbscrews as needed until all
four corners and center of platform are the same vertical
distance from the nozzle.
Always recalibrate the nozzle height after leveling the platform.
Calibrating the Nozzle Height
This section is probably the most important of the entire manual. Please read it carefully
to ensure that you understand the nozzle height setup procedure, as it is vital to successful
3D printing.
To print successfully, the platform should be set to start at a distance of 0.2mm from the nozzle.
As each printer is slightly different, this distance needs to be calibrated before starting to print.
To determine the correct nozzle distance, please follow these steps:
1. Open the Maintenance dialog box from the 3D Print menu and click the Center button.
The current nozzle height is indicated as shown in the Maintenance dialog images above.
In the Windows example, the platform is currently at the bottom of the printer; the Mac
example has the platform 135.5mm from the bottom.
2. Enter the height to which you want the platform to move to into the textbox and click the To
button. In the above Windows example, the platform will move to 121 mm above the
platform’s origin. In the Mac example, the platform is already at the height selected.
