Setting the Nozzle Height
1. Go to Calibration.
2. Press button 5 to move print head to the middle
of the build platform.
3. Use the + button to lower the print head to close
proximity of platform.
4. Put a piece of paper in between the nozzle and
the platform.
5. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the print head
to just touching the paper.
6. Move the paper back and forth to feel the drag
between the nozzle and the platform. There should
be a slight resistance but the paper could be moved
freely. Refer to the figure at the bottom of this page.
7. When the correct distance is obtained, note
the value of current print head position, deduct
0.5mm from the value, and click the "Set"
button to set it as the Nozzle Height.
For example: If the print head position
determined by the paper is 179. Then set the
nozzle height to 178.5

The print head is too low. The
nozzle is pinning the paper
onto the platform. Lower the
platform slightly.
The height is just right.
Can feel some resistance
when moving paper.
The print head is too
high. No resistance is felt
at all when moving the
paper. Raise the platform
slightly.
