SET UP YOURPRINT BED
Before printing a part, you will need to level your print bed and apply glue to the region of the bed where the
parts will print. Leveling the print bed provides the best chance of print success and minimizes warping.
Applying glue keeps the part attached to the bed during printing and allows for easier part removal. Follow
the instructions below to set up your print bed.
1. Install the print bed on the printer.
2. Run theLaser Bed Levelutility by selectingMenu>Bed Level>Laser Bed Levelon your
printer’s touchscreen and following the onscreen instructions.
Note: The print head will move autonomously during this utility.
● When prompted, adjust the thumbscrews (see above image) indicated by the utility until the
onscreen arrow points to the green region of the Laser Reading bar.
● If the utility displays an error, you may need to adjust the Z oset. To do so, select the menu icon
from the dashboard and navigate to Bed Level > Adjust Print Bed Z Offset, then follow the
onscreen instructions.
