13 FAQ - common issues when assembling the printer kit

13.1 Nozzle/print surface gap is greater in the middle than at the

corners

The reason of this issue isn’t the bent printer surface or bed but a distorted Y-axis. We
suggest to remove the whole Y-axis out of the printer. Follow these steps:

● Align the Y-axis so that each Y-corner is sitting on the table - none should be off the

table.

● Align the tightening of each Y-axis threaded rod so that each Y-corner is

perpendicular (facing upright) to the table surface.

● Align the tightening of each Y-axis threaded rod so that each M8 threaded rod is at a

right angle to the M10 threaded rods - the Y-axis must form a perfect rectangle when
viewed from above (pict. 36).

Pict. 36 - Right angle between Y-axis and M8 / M10 rods
