NOTE: Bright direct sunlight can impact the bed probe response during leveling. If you encounter a situation
where the bed is not leveling correctly and your first layer height is way off, make sure no portion of the bed is in
direct sunlight.
9.3.2 Manual Leveling
Make sure the bed is clean and the print head is clean of all residue or excess plastic. We will be using the tip of
the print head as our reference so we want it to be clean.
Raise the bed enough to access the thumbscrews and tighten them all a half turn.
Run the “Manual Bed Level” macro.
At the end of this macro the head will be positioned in the middle of the bed about 10 mm away from it, with the X
and Y motors disabled (so you can move the head around by hand).
Use the “Move” menu to jog the bed up until there is a very small gap between the nozzle and the glass.
CAUTION: If you go too far up you can drive the nozzle into the bed and possibly damage the print head or the
bed. Jog the bed up in small increments to avoid this.
