Make sure to keep an eye on your print until it finishes. Every file you print has its own characteristics 
and sometimes it will surprise you what happens. Also the beginning of the print is critical to the final 
results and you should make sure it adheres correctly. 

Note : As print starts, keep an eye on the filament spool to ensure it 
does not bind or wrap around the brackets. This is especially true for 
new spools of filament.

If you notice your bed may not be level, use the guide below to adjust the height of each v-slot wheel 
which will raise or lower the respective corner. 

To level bed, turn each v-slot wheel, under the bed, using an 8mm open wrench or 4mm hex key. Use 
the large bed leveling print to determine if each corner is high or low and adjust accordingly. Make 
sure to adjust one corner at a time.
