Auto home operation: Adjust the spring around the heating bed to the tightest ( counterclockwise ), press the rotary button to enter the main menu, select“Prepare”→“Auto home”, the machine begins to move toward the position of the limit switch until it stops moving after touching the limit switch.
  • Page 23 2.Disable steppers operation: Press the rotary button to enter the main menu, select“Prepare”→“Disable steppers”. 3.Manual leveling：Move the nozzle to the heating bed, and observe the distance between the nozzle and the heating bed from the front of the machine. If the distance between the nozzle and the four corners of the heating bed is 0.1mm (the thickness of a piece of A4 paper, A4 paper can pass through the gap and feel slight resistance), leveling is not required.
  • Page 24 4. Adjust the distance: Fine - tuning the "distance" to make its size about 0.1mm meet the printing requirement. Move the nozzle to the other three corners of the heating bed, and sequentially adjusting the spring compression of the four corners of the heating bed in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), so that an A4 paper (about 0.1mm) can pass through this distance and feel a slight resistance, and there is no scratch on the platform when moving the extruder.
