4.5 Levelling The Bed
Levelling the bed is arguably the most important step in producing successful prints and should
be checked before every print. Before levelling the print bed check all springs and thumbwheels
are in place.
4.5.1 The Levelling Wizard
1. Clean o any excess lament residue from the tip of the nozzle using the scraper
2. Enter the main menu and select level bed
3. After initializing, the levelling wizard will guide you through levelling all 4 corners of your
print bed. Press next to proceed to the next screen / corner
4. On each corner, turn the relevant thumbwheel until you can just slide the levelling card or a
piece of copy paper between the extruder and print bed with slight resistance, about 0.1mm
5. After levelling the last corner you can return to the main menu or restart the levelling wizard.
If this is your rst time levelling the bed we recommend completing the wizard again to
ensure it is level
NOTE: The ModelMaker does not use the entire print bed during levelling or printing. The maximum
depth is 135mm on the y-axis.
4.5.2 Manually Levelling the Bed
1. Clean o any excess lament residue from the tip of the nozzle using the scraper
2. Enter the main menu and select Quick Settings
Move Home XYZ to move the nozzle to
the home position in the front right corner
NOTE: Immediately turn o the machine if any motors are jamming or forcing against the chassis.
3. Select back
Disable steppers to enable movement of the print bed and extruder
4. Manually move the print bed and extruder to each corner or area you would like to level
5. On each corner, turn the relevant thumbwheel until you can just slide the levelling card or a
piece of copy paper between the extruder and print bed with slight resistance, about 0.1mm
6. Continue checking points on the print bed until you are satised it is level
