Stop when you feel the nozzle just start to grab a little bit. If you cannot feel a little bit friction at all, it means the distance between the nozzle and build platform is too far and the adhesion of filament to the platform will be not guaranteed.
  • Page 23 to leveling point 1 and make the build platform raise up to reduce the distance between the nozzle and the build platform. If you can feel a big amount of friction, it means the distance between the nozzle and build platform is too close. The filament can’t be extruded out or can even be jammed. You need to clockwise rotate the nut in the bottom of the platform which is corresponding to leveling point 1 and make the build platform drop off to increase the distance between the nozzle and the build platform.
