3D Printing
Please follow the guide of the machine to record three different points to define a plane parallel to the heated bed, these three points must
be recorded in order with nozzle in the areas shown in the drawing below, one in each. The calibration requires to be set only for the first use.
3.1 3-Point Leveling
Operation steps:
A4 paper
Heated bed
Press the “
3-point leveling mode
initiate/Point recording
” button to
record
Point
①
, The nozzle will
automatically go to a position right
above
Point

after successful recording
Do the same height adjusting and point
recording steps to record
Point
②
and
③
.
After successful leveling, the machine will
home again and exit 3-point leveling mode
5. Friction status of the three points should be as uniform as possible. Pay attention when traveling the head downward, especially when the nozzle is getting too close to
the bed. Even though the height detect protection will take effect and force the machine to go 0.06mm each press, the heated bed may also get burnt if you continuously
move it downward without testing the height with a piece of paper.
4. The recorded points will not be lost after power-off. But, once entering 3-point leveling mode, previously recorded points will be cleared automatically.
3. Only Z coordinates will be recorded, so all you need to do is adjusting the height with a piece of paper.
2. 3-point leveling mode can only be entered with 3D printing head connected.
6. A re-assembled machine should be re-levelled.
