<p>This calibration is made to do the fine tuning. Please roughly level the printer before you start, move your nozzle to 0.2mm, then you must be able to move a paper between the nozzle and the plater, but you have to be able to feel the nozzle touching it. With that, you should be able to level the bed with a ~0.1mm precision.</p> <p>This calibration is made to do the fine tuning.

<p><strong>If your printer has screws</strong>, use them to lift or drop the bed below the patch that need an adjust. Don't forget to print the test after the adjustment to verify the compensation. Be careful, most of the time, a half-turn means 0.2mm of height, which equals (often) to the height of the first layer, so if you lift the bed, never turn more than that and prefer adjusting by quarter-turn at most.</p> <p><strong>If your printer has bed screws</strong>, use them to raise or lower the bed corresponding to the patch that needs adjustment.

<p>Most of the calibrations need to be done in the right order. This one is the first one to do. But if you want to achieve good results you need to calibrate your extruder, e.g.: if you order for 100mm of filament extrusion, that's exactly the length of filament that the extruder has to push into the nozzle.</p> <p>Most of the calibrations need to be done in the right order.
