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-
screw if necessary.
