Auto-Leveling
Before your first print, and anytime you remove the build plate,
you’ll want to run an auto-level to ensure that your parts adhere
well to the glass. Follow the procedure below to run an auto-level
and calibrate the Z-offset of your machine.
Adjusting the Z-Offset
The Z-offset is the distance between the glass build plate and
the nozzle. The auto-level process ensures that this distance is
consistent across the entire surface of the build plate, but the
distance itself must be manually calibrated. You can do this easily
using a piece of clean, flat copy paper, which are usually about
100 microns thick.
1. Ensure that the hotend is at room temperature.

PREPARING TO PRINT
2. Connect the auto-level sensor to the green wire from the
cable harness, and affix the the sensor’s foam ring to the
nozzle.
NOTE: Use the minimum amount of force required
to affix the sensor to the nozzle. If the nozzle is touching
the plastic membrane, it may prematurely trigger the
switch.
