B | Bed Leveling and Z-Home
A level bed is the foundation for all your 3D prints, and laying down a successful first print
layer is the difference between a beautiful new creation and a messy blob. Read on to
discover more steps on your path towards becoming a 3D printing ninja.
Before shipment, all Gigabot
®
X printers are calibrated to have a leveled bed and correctly
gapped nozzle Z heights (the distance between the nozzle and the bed). The following
instructions outline the steps to level the bed of your GBX and recalibrate the Z height in
case of movement during shipping, and for continued maintenance of Gigabot
®
X.
Please follow the steps outlined in this guide to simultaneously level the bed of your
Gigabot
®
X and set the proper gap between the bed and the nozzle (Z-Home Position).
These steps recommend and demonstrate the use of a 4 inch touch off gage, or tool setter
to indicate the distance between the nozzle and the bed. You can find this touch-off gauge
here:
https://bit.ly/touchoffgauge . Users may opt to use a shim stock as well. It is also
acceptable to level the bed with something like a 1-2-3 block or a piece of aluminum
extrusion, but users will have to set the Z home position afterward.
If using a shim stock, select a shim stock with a thickness of 0.3mm.
