SETUP
3.5 Adding Filament
1. Clean off any excess filament residue from the tip of the nozzle using the scraper
2. Enter the main menu and select
Quick Settings Move Home XYZ
to move
the nozzle to the home position in the front right corner
NOTE:
Immediately turn off the machine any motors are jamming pr forcing against the chassis.
3. Select back Disanle steppers to enable movement of the print bed and extruder
4. Manually move the print bed and extruder to each corner or area you would like to level
5. On each corner, turn the relevant thumbwheel until you can just slide a piece of copy paper
between the extruder and print bed with slight resistance,about 0.1mm
6. Continue checking points on the print bed until you are satisfied it is level

COMMENTS
Nozzle Too High:
Insufficient contact
area resulting in
poor adhesion and
extrusion skipping.
OK:
Filament pushed
into the build
surface slightly to
maximize surface
area contact while
still allowing good
extrusion flow.
NOZZLE TOO LOW:
Not enough
clearance for the
filament to be
extruded... this will
result in damage to
the extruder and/or
build surface.
RAFT MAGNIFICATION
NOTES
NOZZLE TOO HIGH:
Wavey tracks,or tracjs
narrower than 1.2mm
(use vernier callpers
to check)
NOZZLE TOO LOW:
Trancks sides pushed
over neighbouring
tracks.
