Raise the platform again until the platform is just touching the nozzle. If the current height is
lower than the previous point when the platform and nozzle first contact each other, use this point
as the reference.
Repeat these steps for each of the 9 points on the platform. Once you have determined the
highest point on the platform, move back to that point and adjust the platform position so the
nozzle is again just touching the platform. Click the Set nozzle height button to change the
nozzle height setting to that shown.
Once the nozzle height is set, use the 9 buttons to
move to each position. Select the distance from
the drop-down to the right of the selected position,
choosing the value that will bring the platform into
contact with the nozzle.
Perform this step with each of the nine positions.
If you are using clips to secure the print surface to
the platform, be careful to position the clips so they
do not interfere with the nozzle or wind barrier.
Once all 9 values have been entered, click the
Apply current values button.
If you need to perform this function again, click the
Reset button to clear all values.
Click the Quit button when you are finished.
The adjustments in the example above, for instance, indicate that the print surface is warped, with
the center higher than both the front and back edges. Using the Platform Level Calibration utility,
you can correct for this warping.
This process is not intended to replace manually leveling the platform. It should only be
used if your print surface itself cannot be leveled due to warping or an inconsistent
thickness.
