www.anycubic3d.com ) Leveling It is essential to level the platform of a 3D printer. There are two ways to level the Charon, @ Manual Leveling (Default) & @ Assisted Auto Leveling. We suggest to use simple Manual Leveling first if you could get good results. 1, Manual Leveling Step 1. Insert memory card into the slot at the bottom right side of the printer. On the Home Menu of the touch screen, click “Print”, then choose the file and print it to set the machine to manual leveling mode.
. www.anycubic3d.com Leveling Step 3. (If the printer has been printed before leveling, please use tweezers to clean the residue on the nozzle, otherwise it would affect the leveling results.) Put a piece of paper onto the print platform, and then manually move the print head and platform back and forth to let the print head travel to the 4 points and center spot one by one as shown below. (Avoid nozzle rub against the platform directly without the paper in between) Step 4.
www.anycubic3d.com Leveling Step 5.Test print: On the Home Menu, click “Print”, select and then click "PRINT" to verify the leveling results. Refer to Pageant for more details, and it may need fine adjustment few times to achieve the best results. 2, Assisted Auto Leveling [Fl case read before action] Step 1. Before leveling, if the nozzle is hot and in order to avid burns when installing the leveling sensor, it is highly recommended to cool it down first.

Return to the Home Menu, click “Tools” — “More” — “Level” “PROBE” and the screen will pop up messages as shown below. Ensure the leveling i sensor is installed firm and properly before lick “OK". Step 5. After click “OK”, the machine will home all axis and probe 25 spots on the platform indicated by red spots below.
. www.anycubic3d.com Leveling Due to the vibration from shipping or installation differences, factory nozzle height might be changed unpredictable. To avoid unnecessary first time frustration of nozzle rubbing against the Ultra base Pro, the default nozzle offset of the test print has been purposely set a few millimeters (2~4mm) higher Please follow the steps below to fine tune it. Step 6.
www.anycubic3d.com ) Leveling Nozzle too high A: large gaps, filaments could not adhere to the platform B: Lack of extrusion, the nozzle rub against the Nozzle too close platform. Filament Proper nozzle height C: Good extrusion and adhesion Filament When the nozzle is too high (close) from (to) the platform, it can be adjusted during or after the test print. It is suggested to adjust it during test print.
