    Every machine may have its own calibration procedures and please make reference to the user manual for auto-leveling A30 hotbed. Instead here is a list of key points that should be kept in mind.  Frame is stable and correctly aligned.
  • Page 19 Firmware settings are correct, including: axis movement speeds and acceleration; temperature control; end-stops; motor directions. The point regarding the extruder step rate is vital. Too much extrusion will result in blobs and other imperfections in the print, while too little extrusion will result in gaps and poor inter-layer adhesion.
