print to fail.
Auto Leveling
Your new printer comes standard with an auto-leveling feature. The way our auto-leveling
system works is to probe the heated bed in nine different location to measure any tolerances
that it might have. This measurement is taken before every print so that each print you start is
completely hands free (other than loading filament).
Our printer makes use of mechanical limit switches and the print nozzle to sense the shape of the
bed.
The x axis sits on top of these Z limit switches until the nozzle reaches the home position (or the
auto leveling code is executed); at this point the nozzle touches the bed and releases the limit
switches, signaling that the extruder has reached “home”
