Chapter 5: Build Plate Leveling

A correctly leveled build plate will almost always guarantee a quality 3D object.
When printed objects have issues, the first step to diagnose is to check and
double-check to make sure the build plate is leveled. A general rule of thumb is to
leave a gap that is the thickness of a piece of paper. However, for printing finer
objects (150 micron and lower), please use a feeler gauge to level the build plate as it
requires a lesser gap between the nozzle and the build plate.
The Inventor utilizes a three-point leveling system for its build plate. At the bottom of
the build plate, there is one spring-loaded knob in the front and two in the back.
Tightening the screw will create a bigger gap between the build plate and the nozzle
while loosening it will create lesser gap.
