Chapter 5: 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 printer 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.
Perform the following steps to level the build plate.
① If it is not already powered on, flip the power switch to the ON position. Wait
for the system to stabilize. Touch the Tool button on the Top Menu, then
touch the Level button on the Tool Menu. The extruder and build plate will
move to the starting position.
② Take out the Leveling Card.
