After calibrating the build plate with the first nozzle, the second nozzle needs to be aligned as well, to ensure the heights of
both nozzles are set correctly. For this it is only necessary to set the correct height by using the calibration card.
1. Place the calibration card between the second nozzle and build plate.
2. Rotate the button at the front of the Ultimaker 3 until it touches the calibration card and fine-tune it until you feel slight
friction/resistance when moving the card.
The alignment of the second nozzle can also be done separately, by navigating to

Leveling frequency
The Ultimaker 3 will ask how often you want to level your build plate, once you have leveled it.
These are the options:
•
Every day
•
Every week
•
After startup
•
Never
•
Automatic (the leveling frequency is determined by the printer, based on the amount of printing hours since the last
time the build plate was leveled)
You can always change the leveling frequency by going to System
g
Build plate
g
Frequency in the menu.
