1. Auto-Leveling Procedure
When first running the machine, follow these steps for auto-leveling:
Step 1: Initial Calibration
- Power on the printer and select the Level option.
- Place a sheet of A4 paper between the nozzle and the platform.
- Adjust the height compensation values to set the distance between the nozzle and the platform.
Step 2: Auxiliary Leveling
- Select the auxiliary leveling option and calibrate the 4 corner points of the platform using the A4 paper.
- Adjust the hand-twisting nuts under the heated bed to fine-tune each corner point.
Step 3: Automatic Calibration
- Select the automatic leveling option from the menu.
- Set the heated bed temperature to the recommended temperature of the filament.
- Begin the 36-point automatic bed calibration.
Step 4: Z-Axis Compensation
- Place an A4 paper between the print head and the platform for Z-axis compensation.
- Adjust the compensation value until the paper can be pulled out but not pushed in.
- Click the save icon to save the settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Can I use a different paper size for calibration?
- A: It is recommended to use an A4 paper for calibration as specified in the manual to ensure accurate leveling.
- Q: How often should I perform auto-leveling?
- A: It is advisable to perform auto-leveling whenever you notice any print quality issues or after a significant period of non-use to maintain optimal performance.
Auto-Leveling Procedure
When first running the machine, the distance between the platform and the
nozzle needs to be calibrated in the leveling mode, which is about the
thickness of a piece of A4 paper .
Note that the leveling sensor only detects the metal platform plate, for
example, replacing the glass platform for leveling will not produce a
detection effect, which will cause the nozzle to squeeze the platform.
- When the printer is powered on, select 【Level】.
- Each axis of the printer automatically returns to the home position, after entering the leveling page, place a sheet of A4 paper between the nozzle and the platform, and adjust the height compensation values using the screen controls to increase or decrease the distance between the nozzle and the platform (P2), and slide the sheet of paper back and forth several times, until there is a slight amount of noticeable friction generated. At this point, the center point calibration will be completed. Next, select the auxiliary leveling option [ ] , to calibrate the 4 corner points of the platform with the same sheet of paper by adjusting the hand-twisting nuts found under the heated bed, and once again sliding the paper until friction has been detected and the paper can be pulled out, but not slid under the nozzle. This will complete the auxiliary leveling calibration.
- After completing the manual auxiliary leveling process above, next select the automatic leveling option from the menu and your printer will begin the automatic calibration process. [ ]
- Your printer will enter a heating state during the automatic calibration process as the nozzle is heated to 140ºC and the heated bed to 60ºC (Please adjust the heated bed temperature to the recommended temperature of the filament you intend to use to ensure accurate leveling values) .
- After reaching the preset temperature, begin the 36-point automatic bed calibration.
- When completed, perform Z-axis compensation setting: Place an A4 paper between the print head and the platform. Adjust the compensation value by clicking, and gently slide the A4 paper. When the A4 paper can be pulled out but cannot be pushed in, the leveling is complete.
