After working on your Ultimaker, you must re-level the build plate to ensure your 3D prints stick
well to the build plate. To level the build plate:
1. Go to “Maintenance” > “Build plate” to start the bed leveling process.
2. Wait for the Ultimaker to do its homing procedure and continue when the print head is in the center at the back of
the build plate.
3. Rotate the button at the front until there is approximately 1 mm distance between the nozzle and the build plate.
Make sure that the nozzle is close to the build plate without touching it.
4. Adjust the front left and front right build plate screw to roughly level the build plate at the front side. Again there
should be a distance of approximately 1 mm between the nozzle and build plate.
5. Place the calibration card in between the nozzle and build plate.
6. Adjust the build plate screws on the front left side, front right side and the middle of the back until you feel slight
friction when moving the card.
7. Press “Continue”. The print head moves to the second point.
8. Repeat step 4 and step 5.
9. Press “Continue” again. The print head moves to the third point.
10. Repeat step 4 and step 5.
Do not push on the build plate while fine-tuning with the calibration card. This will lead to inaccuracies.
