LEVELING THE BUILD PLATE
Adjust the Knobs as Directed
2
The script will prompt you to adjust the
knobs individually. As you adjust each
knob, make sure the MakerBot Support
card just slides between the nozzle and
build plate. You should feel some friction
on the support card but still be able to
easily pass the card between the plate
and the extruder nozzle without tearing or
damaging the card.
Adjust Each Knob Again
3
The script will prompt you to adjust each
knob again. This allows for fine tuning.
This time, the MakerBot Support card
should slide between the build plate and
nozzle with more friction.
Confirm your Adjustment
4
After the second set of adjustments, the
nozzle will move to the center of the build
plate. Confirm that the MakerBot Support
card slides between the nozzle and plate
with a moderate amount of friction.
NOTE: If you have problems, 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. For a demonstration
of this process, see the MakerBot Replicator 2 video page at makerbot.com/support/replicator2/videos.
