Bed Leveling Tip! The on-screen instructions will guide you through leveling your bed at three different points. For
proper calibration, slide a piece of construction paper under the hotend at each of the three points. Tighten/loosen
the leveling screws to ensure a slight drag on the construction paper. Turn the screws clockwise to raise the bed
and counterclockwise to lower the bed.
Store opened spools of lament in a sealed bag with
a desiccant packet.
Whenever you begin a print, always check that the rst layer of the print is properly stuck onto the blue painter’s tape. A
properly leveled bed should have the extruded lament a bit squished and shouldn’t pop off the bed easily. While the
printer is performing the skirt nozzle purge, observe the deposited lament and make micro-adjustments with the thumb-
screws if necessary.
