3.2 Levelling the Bed
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
