LEVELING THE BUILD PLATE
One of the best things you can do to keep
your MakerBot Replicator 2X in top shape is
to level your build plate frequently. It never
hurts to re-level, but forgetting to do so can
hurt your success rate.
• If the build platform is too far from the
extruder nozzle, or if one part of the plate is
farther from the nozzle than another part,
your prints might not stick to the build plate.
• If the build platform is too close to the
extruder nozzle, the build plate can block
your filament from extruding from the
nozzle. The nozzle can also scratch the
build plate if it is too close to the plate.
• Leveling your build plate often will help
ensure that your prints always stick well
to the build plate.
To access the MakerBot Replicator 2X built-
in leveling script, go to the Utilities menu on
the LCD screen and select Level Build Plate.
To level the plate without using the built-in script:
1. Go to the Utilities menu on the LCD screen
and select Home Axes.
2. Manually move the extruders to different
points above the build plate. At each point,
use a piece of paper, feeler gauge or other
measuring tool to gauge the distance
between the build plate and extruder
nozzles. The distance should be about
75% of your planned layer height.
3. At each point, turn the leveling knobs
beneath the build plate to the left to raise the
build plate and to the right to lower it [Fig. 2.1].
