Bed Leveling
1. Move the extruder on the top of the leveling nut. Screw the nut and adjust the distance between the nozzle and the
build plate. The distance is around 0.1mm. (Thickness of a piece of A4 paper)
2. Use a piece of A4 paper to assist in leveling, so that the nozzle can just scratch the A4 paper lightly. Adjust the leveling
nuts on the four sides in turn until you can feel the slight resistance from the nozzle when pulling the A4 paper.
3. Test the distance between the nozzle and the print platform is enough or not. Repeat the above steps 1-2 times if
necessary.
After adjusting the upper
position of the 4 nuts, check
the center position again.
Note: If the rotating nuts can not make the nozzle touch the build
plate, the position of the z-axis limit switch may be too high;
please adjust it accordingly.

The nozzle is too far away from the
build plate, so the consumables can not
adhere to the build plate.
The nozzle is too close to the build
plate, the filament are not extruded
sufficiently, and the nozzle is damaged
to result in plug. It's easy to scratch the
printing build plate.
The even filament adheres right on the
build plate .

Questions and answers
I have a Voxelab Aquila X2. My nozzle is hitting the bed before the limit switch can stop from hitting. How do I rectify the issue?
To fix the nozzle hitting the bed on a Voxelab Aquila X2 before the limit switch stops it, follow these steps:
1. Check the Z-Axis Limit Switch: Ensure the Z-axis limit switch is properly installed and positioned. If it is too low, adjust its position upwards so it triggers before the nozzle touches the bed.
2. Adjust the Bed Leveling Knobs: Turn the leveling knobs counterclockwise to lower the bed slightly, preventing the nozzle from hitting it too soon.
3. Use Auto Home Function: In the printer menu, select *Auto Home* to ensure the extruder moves to its correct home position.
4. Modify Z-Offset: If needed, adjust the Z-offset in the printer settings to fine-tune the nozzle height.
5. Check for Obstructions: Ensure there are no obstructions or loose parts affecting the movement of the Z-axis.
By following these steps, the nozzle should stop at the correct height before touching the bed.
