3.1 Calibration of table

For a successful print it is important that the table is properly calibrated. The distance between the nozzle and table should
be the same at every x,y position. The leveling mechanism of the table can be adjusted by turning the 3 M4 nuts underneath
the heated bed. For the assembled units the calibration should be good right of the box, but due to shipment it could be
that the calibration is slightly off. Therefore it is important to check it first.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
!!The leveling should be done by moving the axes by hand, not via computer interface!!
!!Never move the axis at a high rate by hand, because the motors could act like a generator (similar to your bicycle and
potentially damage the electronics of the board.)!!
3.1.1 Step 1: Y-direction
Calibrate the table in the y-direction.
1. Move the X-axis carriage (extruder) close to the homing sensor as shown above, and move the table up until
approximately 1 mm from the hot-end.
2. Move the Y-axis (heated bed) back and forth slowly. While doing this check the distance between the tip and bed. It
should be the same over the whole movement.
If it is not, turn the 2 nuts underneath the bed as indicated in the picture below.
3. Move the table a little closer to the hot-end and repeat the previous step to more precisely determine the distance
between the hot-end and the table over the whole length.
