3.9 Recalibrating your printer using
Simplify3D
If small manual adjustments during the rst
layers of a print are not sufcient to calibrate
the bed, it is best to recalibrate the bed using
Simplify3D.
STEP 1: Connect your printer to Simplify3D as
described in Section 3.7 and go to ‘jog controls’
in the “machine control panel”
STEP 2: Select ‘Home All’. This moves the print
bed up as close as possible to the extruders,
and the head to the left-front.
STEP 3: Grab a thin business card and slide it
between the right extruder and the bed. Adjust
the bed levelling knob in the left-front corner
of the bed until the card is slightly pinched be-
tween the bed and the extruder (i.e. the mo-
ment it can no longer move freely).
STEP 4: Manually move the print head to the
far right and repeat the procedure with the
business card in the front right corner.
STEP 5: Do this for all 4 corners.
