2. Choose [Print from SD], tap [OK]. Tap down arrow to the next page, choose [PlateLeveling.x3g],
tap [OK] to leveling process.
Find the 3 knobs on
the botton of the
platform and tighten
four or five turns.
Nozzles are at the
right height when
you can just slide a
sheet of paper
between the nozzle
and the platform
Grab a sheet of
paper to assist us.
In each position,
we will need to
adjust 2 knobs at
the same time.
Please wait.
3. After leveling starts, there would be a prompt on the LCD panel. Tap [Ok], turn the page.
After prompt is over, extruder starts to move and stops above leveling knobs at the front
build plate.
Attention: Leveling would affect print effect directly, if print result is unsatisfactory,
please do leveling again.
Start the adjustment process
with the right nozzle, then use
the distance between the right
nozzle and build plate as a
reference.
4. Take leveling card out, on the basis of right side extruder, put leveling card between right
extruder and build plate. Slide leveling card back and forth and adjust leveling knobs in the
meantime.
If you can move leveling card easily, please rotate leveling knobs clockwise to reduce the
distance between build plate and nozzle. Otherwise, rotate leveling knobs anticlockwise to
increase the distance between build plate and nozzle.
If you feel slight friction sensitivity when moving leveling card, the distance between
extruder and leveling card is proper, thus adjustment compeleted.
5. After the first leveling point completed, tap [OK]. The extruder will move to the second leveling
point. Adopt same method to adjust. After three leveling points completed all, leveling
completed. Tap [Ok] to end leveling process, press leftwards arrow to go back to home screen.
