B | Bed Leveling and Z-Home
Before shipment, all Gigabot
®
3+ printers are calibrated to have a leveled bed and
correctly gapped nozzle Z heights (the distance between the nozzle and the bed). The
following instructions outline the steps to level the bed of your GB3+ and recalibrate the Z
height in case of movement during shipping.
Please follow the steps outlined in this guide to level the bed of your Gigabot
®
3+.
These steps use a 0.010 inch feeler gauge or shim stock to gauge the distance between the
nozzle and the bed. Users may opt to use a tool setter as well. It is also acceptable to level
the bed with something like a 1-2-3 block or a piece of aluminum extrusion, but users will
have to set the Z home position afterward.
