Checking the Platform Home Position
The Platform Home is the position to which the
build platform moves when a print starts. If the
surface is too near, the filament will be blocked
from extruding and the extruder may make a
clicking sound. If the platform is too far, the
filament will not adhere to surface.
Adjusting the Platform Home Position
• Adjust the Platform Home position, by turning
the black knob a quarter turn at a time.
Clockwise lowers the platform, increasing
the distance between platform and extruder.
Counterclockwise raises it, decreasing the
distance between platform and extruder.
• Press the Platform Home button to move the
platform to the new setting after each
adjustment, then check if it is correct.
Preparing the Build Surface
• To help the print adhere, apply a single pass
of glue stick to the glass build surface.
IMPORTANT SURFACE TREATMENT NOTE
Some materials, such as PET, will bond
permanently with the glass build plate if
printed in direct contact. This will result in
damage not covered under warranty.
• Refer to the manufacturer of a material
for surface treatment requirements.
• Use a surface treatment whenever
using unfamililiar materials.
