Calibrating the Level Gap
Leveling the print pad is very important to ensure quality prints. Checking the Z-Gap and
Level Gap becomes necessary after replacing a print jet, an extruder assembly, or the print
pad.
The Level Gap calibration file is always printed with print jet 1. There are two independent
files for checking Level Gap: one for ABS printing and one for PLA printing.
NOTE: Ensure the file used matches the material type installed in cartridge
bay 1. (Ex. If cartridge bay 1 has an ABS material cartridge, print the ABS
Level Gap file.)
These files are available at www.Cubify.com.
NOTE: The Z-Gap (A) should always be checked and adjusted before the
Level Gap (B).
Level Gap Calibration Print Overview
The following diagram illustrates a leveled print pad with a proper Z-Gap:
Z-Gap - The Z-Gap is the distance between the print pad and the print jet nozzles. The Z-
Gap should always be checked
and adjusted first before the Level Gap (A).
Level Gap - The Level Gap is a measurement to determine if the print pad is level with the
