  • Page 21: Build Plate Leveling

    2. Build Plate Leveling Nozzle Build plate Knob The first and most important step towards ensuring the success of a 3D print is making certain that the build plate is parallel to the plane the extruder nozzle travels in, which is also known as “leveling” in 3D printing. And this is especially crucial and necessary for semi-assembled 3D Printer like Ender-3 without auto-leveling or assisted-leveling feature.
  • Page 22 If the paper slides through easily, the nozzle and build plate are too far apart. Rotate the knob clockwise to decrease the distance between them. If the paper cannot slide through, rotate the knob anticlockwise. 5. After leveling the first adjustment point，repeat step 4 for the other three points. 6.

    V. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION As you've seen, you can print a model directly from a gcode file on a microSD™ card and this is the preferred method, as it does not require a continuous connection to your computer. You can download gcode files to the microSD™ card and print them without building any model files by yourself.

  • Page 33: Prepare

    Prepare Disable Steppers Disable stepper motors for the X/Y/Z axis so you can move the print head around manually without risking damaging the stepper motor driver electronics. Auto Home To make the X/Y/Z axis returns to the home position then your Ender-3 is ready for printing. Preheat PLA Heat up to the default setting temperature, which is 220 C for the nozzle and 60 C for the heated bed.

  • Page 34: Control

    Control Temperature 2.1.1 Nozzle Manually set up the temperature for nozzle. 2.1.2 Manually set up the temperature for heated bed. 2.1.3 Fan Speed Set up fan speed, which defines the speed at which the fans spin. A higher fan speed allows for better cooling and reduces oozing, but can also increases the shrinkage of the material.
