¶ Guided Platform Leveling Wizard
¶ Tools required
- Work gloves
- 0.10 feeler gauge or sheet of printer paper
¶ Synopsis
The 3D Labs series of 3D printers have heavy duty build plates, utilizing industrial grade stamping springs to hold the bed in place. While these beds tend to stay perfectly leveled for a very long time, approximately every 500 print hours, you should run the assisted platform leveling wizard to check the physical leveling of the bed.
Many times the bed will not need to be leveled, thanks to the construction of the build plate, however it's good to periodically check.
If the wizard detects the bed plane deviation is out of tolerance, you'll be provided with instructions to correct it.
¶ Pre-requisites
- Heat up the bed to 110C.
Don't worry about setting the bed to a material specific temperature. Use 110C. Running the auto mesh bed leveling wizard at print temperature will complement the physical leveling we do here, and adjust for any temperature variances.
¶ Instructions
- From the home screen tap Wizards, then Guided Platform Leveling Wizard.
- Make sure the build plate is free of objects.
- Tap Start to initiate the wizard.
- The system will probe the 4 corners of the bed and determine the plane offset.
- If the bed needs to be adjusted, you'll see instructions similar to the following:
- Make the prescribed adjustments and click Proceed.
- The system will continue to probe your adjustments and provide instruction until the bed is within tolerance.
- When complete, you'll see a screen as follows:
The bed is now leveled physically. You should now proceed to run the Auto Mesh Bed Leveling Wizard.
