LEVELING THE BUILD PLATE
!
Why Leveling Is Important
If the build plate is too far from the
extruder nozzles, or if one part of the
plate is farther away from the nozzles
than another part, your 3D prints might
not stick to the build plate.
If the build plate is too close to the
extruder nozzles, the build plate can block
the MakerBot Filament from extruding
from the nozzles. This can also tear the
Kapton tape applied to the build plate
and scratch the aluminum
surface underneath.
• Leveling your build plate oen will help
ensure that objects adhere well to the plate.
How to Level the Build Plate
Three knobs lower and raise the build plate.
Tightening the knobs [turning them
counterclockwise] moves the build plate
away from the extruder nozzles.
Loosening the knobs [turning them
clockwise] moves the build plate closer
to the extruder nozzles.
The distance between the extruder
nozzles and the build plate should be
about the thickness of the MakerBot
Support card included with your
MakerBot Replicator 2X.
NOTE: To view a video of the build plate leveling
process, go to the MakerBot Replicator 2X video

Adjust the Knobs as Directed
When directed by the LCD screen, tighten
each of the three knobs underneath the
build platform approximately four turns.
Next, the script will prompt you to adjust the
knobs individually. Use the MakerBot Support
business card or a thin piece of paper to check
the plate height above each knob.
As you adjust each knob, make sure the
MakerBot Support card just slides between
the nozzles and build plate. You should feel
some friction on the card but still be able
to easily pass the card between the plate
and the extruder nozzles without tearing or
damaging the card.
