Quick Guide
Levelling the Bed
1.
Squeeze each corner of the printing bed, and tighten each wing nut to reduce the distance
between plates to a minimum. Wipe the top of the Heated Print Bed with a clean, lint-free
cloth to ensure no dust particles or other objects are on the Heated Print Bed. Remove all the
white tape covering the X, Y, Z axis stop micro switch prior to the next step
2.
Using the switch on the back of the Control Box, turn on the WANHAO 3D Printer.
Once initialised, press the Navigation Dial to enter the menu system. Navigate to and select
Position
then select
Home All.
Your 3D printer will now try to align to the home position, on
the front left corner of the Heated Print Bed. Once aligned, turn off the 3D printer
3.
With the printer powered off, check the Z axis level. The X rail should be parallel to the Heated
Print Bed. If it is not, manually rotate the right hand side Z axis stepper motor to level it
4.
Manually move the Extruder to one corner of the Heated Print Bed to check the distance
between the nozzle and Heated Print Bed. Rotate the wing nut to raise the Heated Print Bed.
The distance between the Extruder and bed should be 0.1mm or roughly the thickness of
an A4 sheet of paper. The paper should have very slight friction as you move it under the
Extruder but should still slide freely
5.
Move the Extruder to each of the other corners and repeat the process. Move the Extruder to
the centre of the Heated Print Bed and test the gap with a sheet of paper. Keep adjusting and
testing until the gap is uniform on all points of the bed

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.
