LEVELING THE BUILD PLATE
CONTINUED
2
Adjust Each Knob Again
The script will prompt you to adjust each
knob again. This allows for fine tuning. This
time, the Support card should slide between
the build plate and nozzles with more friction.
3
Confirm your Adjustment
After the second set of adjustments, the
nozzles will move to the center of the build
plate. Confirm that the MakerBot Support
card slides between the nozzles and plate
with a moderate amount of friction.
NOTE: During leveling, it is okay for the nozzle to
be very slightly closer to the center of the build
plate than to the rest of the plate.
4
Finish Leveling
When you have completed the initial
leveling tasks, the LCD menu will display
the following text: "Aaah, that feels much
better. Let's go on and load some plastic!"
Before you can print, you must load the
MakerBot ABS Filament into the extruder.
The extruder will heat the filament and use
the melted material to build things.
NOTE: If you have problems with this process or
if you need to level your build plate again, you can
use the up and down arrows to scroll through the
top-level menu on the LCD panel and use the M
button to select Utilities. Scroll to Level Build Plate
and select it. You can use these menus to return to
the leveling script at any time.
