How to use the nuts
Rotate the nuts clockwise
Raise the build plate to reduce the distance
between the nozzle and build plate.
Lower the build plate to increase the distance
between the nozzle and build plate.
Rotate the nuts Anticlockwise
Build plate goes up Build plate goes down

Screw the three nuts under the platform
counterclockwise until they are tight,
then tap the [OK] button.
3. Please wait while the extruder and platform finish initial movements. Screw three nuts under the
platform anticlockwise, then tap [OK] button.
Attention: three nuts may be tightened up before going out, please skip this step if you find
three nuts have been tightened up, and continue to following steps
4. After tapping [OK] button, the extruder will
move towards the first point and the plate will
move up and down to verify the distance
between nozzle and plate.
5. If the distance between the nozzle and plate
is too large, rotate the three nuts underneath
the platform clockwise for the same rounds
until you hear a steady beep.
Turn all three nuts under the platform
clockwise equally until
you hear the beep.
6. Tap the [Verify] button to check whether the
distance is appropriate.
7. If the distance is appropriate, tap [ok] to next
step. If the diastance still not appropriate,
please follow the prompts on the touch screen
to adjust till you see [ok].
Tap the [OK] button to move to
the next leveling point.

step. If the diastance still not appropriate,
please follow the prompts on the touch
