STARTUP PROCESS: LEVELING, LOADING, TESTING
The script will prompt you to adjust the
knobs individually. 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 support
card but still be able to easily pass the card
between the plate and the extruder nozzles
without tearing or damaging the card.
2
Adjust the Knobs as Directed
The script will prompt you to adjust each
knob again. This allows for fine tuning.
This time, the Support card should slide
between the build plate and nozzles with
more friction.
3
Adjust Each Knob Again
After the second set of adjustments, the
nozzles will move to the center of the build
plate. Confirm that the MakerBot Support
card slides between the nozzles and plate
with a moderate amount of friction.
4
Confirm your Adjustment
NOTE: If you have problems with this process or if you need to level your build plate again, you can use
the up and down arrows to scroll through the top-level menu on the LCD panel and use the M button to
select Utilities. Scroll to Level Build Plate and select it. You can use these menus to return to the leveling
script at any time.
