4. LEVELING THE BUILD PLATE
The optimal position of the building plate is 0.3 mm from the extruder
and it must be leveled evenly. CraftBot has a leveling procedure which
ensures that the extruder and the heated build plate are at optimal
distance. A smaller gap or uneven levelling may lead to the damaging
of the kapton cover of the build plate or the extruder.
•
Select „Settings" on the LCD menu.
•
Select the Leveling icon – three crossed circles which represent the three knobs and screw.
•
Follow the step-by-step instructions on the LCD screen:
•
Turn all three black knobs holding the build plate all the way to the right until the springs in between
have been compressed fully and the knobs begin to feel tight. (There is one knob at the front in the
middle and two in the back left and right corners of the build plate). Do not force them!
•
Locate the .3mm spacer card in the cardboard cradle among the other accessories. This card will
ensure the optimal distance between the build plate and the extruder. Please keep it for future use
as well.
•
The preprogrammed leveling process will first set the front center point. Place the spacer card above
the front center black knob on the build plate, then press the right arrow on the screen. Adjust the
front center knob if needed based on the instruction on the screen.
