MAINTENANCE
The MAINTENANCE menu offers various options. By selecting BUILDPLATE you will be guided through the bed leveling
steps. Especially after transport it is recommended to use this option to recalibrate the build plate. In the ADVANCED
menu several options can be selected in order to manually do certain actions or change machine settings. Below a
short overview of all these options is shown.

If you want to change settings during printing you can use the TUNE and PAUSE menu. The TUNE menu basically
shows you the same settings as in the ADVANCED menu, but it means that you can now change settings while it is
printing, through which you can have more control over the printing process. Furthermore, it is possible to select PAUSE
after which you can change the filament in the middle of a print and resume again.
