4.6 My extruders are not the same height

When there is a height difference between the extruders, support material will not properly attach to the
printed part or will melt into the printed part. This guide will explain how to level both extruders to the
same height.
Loosening the index bolt
The index bolt can be found when you look through the fans on the extruder carriage as
indicated on the picture. Use an Allen wrench to loosen the index bolts of both extruders. It is
not necessary to take them out, only loosen them
Sliding the hot end down
After loosening the index bolts, the hot ends will be able to slide up and down. Use pliers to
move the hot end which is a little bit too high downwards.
The next step is to home the Z-axis by pressing Z-home at the "Manual control" tab. The other
hot end will start to move upwards. At this moment in time, both your hot ends are positioned
on the same height.
Make sure you tighten the index bolts of both extruders to secure their position.
