STACKER 500KS USER GUIDE 14
Your printer is powered on by utilizing the power switch located directly above the C14 power inlet
for your power cable.
Before turning on your printer for the first time, confirm that the USB cable is installed correctly and
that your
​ STACKER RUN ​ software is up and running on your computer.
5.2. Level The Print Bed
Your bed is pre­leveled at the factory which enables us to make a test print. During shipping your
bed leveling can change, so you need to make sure your bed is level. We give you an aluminum
setup block to help you safely level the bed without crashing your print heads into the glass. For
most users the bed will still be level, and all you will have to do is perform a final test.
If your bed is way out of adjustment you will need to follow the full adjustment process. You begin
this process by homing the z­axis on the aluminum setup block, and then you level the bed to the
nozzles. Then, you home the z­axis on the setup block again to adjust the gap between the now
level bed and the nozzles. Finally, you home the z­axis without the setup block and do a final test
with a business card, a 0.007” feeler gauge or a 0.20mm feeler gauge. Micro adjustments will be
made with the adjustment knob on the z­probe.
Leveling your print bed is a
​ mandatory first step
​
before you can print. If the bed is too far away
from your nozzle the print will not stick to the build plate. If the nozzle is too close to the build plate it
will prevent the filament from flowing out of the nozzle, and this will eventually cause the filament to
jam because the filament will strip out inside the filament drive.
