Build Plate Leveling - Monoprice 30526 User Manual

4. Wait for the extruder to heat up to the target temperature. The extruder will alert you
when it is at the target temperature.
5. Unload the filament by gently guiding it out of the extruder, then touch the Done button
to finish unloading.

BUILD PLATE LEVELING

A properly leveled build plate is required for high-quality 3D prints. If you have any
problems printing an object, you should first check whether the build plate is properly
leveled or not. 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 microns and lower), use a feeler gauge to
level the build plate as it requires a lesser gap between the nozzle and the build plate.
The Inventor uses a three-point leveling system for the build plate. At the bottom of the
build plate, there is a spring-loaded knob in the front and two in the back. Tightening the
knob will increase the gap between the build plate and the nozzle and loosening it will
reduce the gap.
