To widen the gap between the nozzle and the bed, tighten
the Levelling Nuts by turning anti-clockwise. To reduce the
gap between the nozzle and the bed, loosen the Levelling
Nuts by turning clockwise. The gap should ideally be the
thickness of a sheet of 80gsm paper.

• Print Bed Calibration: The on-screen instructions here provide you with guidance on
how to adjust the distance between the nozzle and the Heated Print Bed to ensure that your
model prints correctly. The smaller the distance, the more 'squashed' the filament will be
to the bed, whereas a larger gap may cause the filament not to adhere to the bed correctly.
Follow these step-by-step instructions to see how to make this adjustment for a successful
print:
