You might see a combination of the above problems on your first test run. We cannot
predict how a printer will behave after shipping. Usually it will be within acceptable
parameters, but some adjustments might be necessary !
When you see a clear difference in one specific corner then adjust the screw on
the heatbed to correct the problem. In order to do that you have to prevent the
nut on the bottom of the heatbed from rotating with a pair of plyers.
When you notice a clear difference between the left and right side of the heated
bed, then the right Z steppermotor needs to be adjusted accordingly: simply
rotate the motor in small increments to the left or to the right. Do not do this
while printing !
If you see a completely faulty first layer, but it is consistent all round the heat bed
then the Z-axis screw needs to be adjusted. Home the Z axis and run the
printtest.gcode once more. Adjust the settings until you get good results with
the printtest gcode.
