Calibration Guide for Your 3D Printer

To ensure that your prints are precise and of high quality, proper calibration is crucial. Calibration involves adjusting the parameters of your printer to align it with its manufacturer specifications.

Steps Involved:

• Leveling the Bed: Ensure that your print bed is perfectly level. This can be done using a calibration tool or simply by adjusting the bed screws until all corners of the bed touch a sheet of paper evenly.
• If you're using a print mat, ensure it's well-adhered to the bed before starting your print.
• Checking Z-Axis: Adjust the height of the nozzle until it just barely touches the surface of the paper. This ensures that when printing, the first layer is deposited at the correct height.
• Bed Calibration with Square Test: Print a square test and measure its dimensions using calipers. This will give you an idea if your printer's calibration is accurate or not.
