Why Leveling Is Important
•
If the build platform is too far from the extruder nozzle, or if one part of
the plate is farther away from the nozzle than another part, your builds
might not stick to the build plate.
•
If the build platform is too close to the extruder nozzle, the build plate
can block the Printer PLA Filament from extruding from the nozzle.
This can also scratch the build plate.
•
Leveling your build plate often will help ensure that objects adhere well
to the plate.

How to Level the Build Plate
To level the build plate, you must adjust the four knobs which under the build
platform. These four knobs lower and raise the build plate.
• Tightening the knobs [turning them to the right] moves the build plate away
from the extruder nozzle.
• Loosening the knobs [turning them to the left] moves the build plate closer to
the extruder nozzle.
• The distance between the extruder nozzle and the build plate should be about
the thickness of the A4 paper.
