First Print; Leveling Hot Bed - Geeetech A30 User Manual

4 First print

4.1 Leveling hot bed

The first layer is the key to a successfully printed model, which would directly affect the quality of
printing model and achieve a good bed adhesion. In order to avoid scratching nozzle and hot bed,
the factory default setting is a little high. Users need to level the hot bed and set the distance
between the nozzle and hot bed before printing. When you complete leveling, there's no need to
readjust afterwards. Details as follows:
1) Rough leveling
Please click "leveling" as shown in picture (4-1), and then click "manual leveling" as shown in
picture (4-2) to enter into "manual leveling" interface.
Put a piece of leveling paper or A4 paper between hot bed and nozzle, click position"5" (see
picture 4-3) and select the appropriate height adjustment amount repeatedly (adjust height in
increments of 0.05mm/0.5mm) at bottom left of interface, to adjust the z-axis height until the
distance between hot bed and the nozzle is about the thickness of a piece of paper (about 0.1 /
0.2 mm). Slide the paper back and forth to see if you feel a slight resistance. If yes, it means that
extruder heads in the right place. After adjusting the height at position "5", click "OK" to save
current value.
