block to all four corners of the printer bed - at each corner use the Thumb Screw below that particular corner 
of the Printer Bed to adjust the printer bed up and down so that it 

lightly

 touches the brass tip of the Nozzle 

in all positions.

lightly

 touching the Printer Bed surface. This is adjustable 

using the Thumb Screw under the far right hand corner of the bed. You have 10 seconds after the bed has 
stopped rising to make this adjustment correctly. After 10 seconds the bed will slightly lower and the Nozzle 
will move to the far left hand corner to repeat the process. 

 

3.  The process will be repeated for the remaining corners, allowing for adjustment each time. 
4.  The Nozzle will then move to the centre for 5 seconds to check the adjustment. 

 

5.  The Control Panel will then display '

' and will repeat everything from 2 above but this time 

only pausing for 5 seconds (To allow final fine tuning). 

 

6.  The Nozzle will return to its home position (rear right hand corner). 

 

7.  You can repeat the process as often as you like, until completely satisfied that the Nozzle is lightly 

touching the Printer Bed in all positions. To repeat if required, start again at step
