A10M simple bed level tip
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2019 8:17 am
Have you got this printer and find it near impossible to level?
Check your bed bolts, I found that every time I wanted to print, I had to level the bed again, most times I found it hard because a corner would run out of adjustment.
I removed the bed from the machine, there was a fair bit of friction getting the bolts in or out of the X Y axis, the bolts are not straight and the holes are a too perfect a fit for the bolts.
Drill the holes out using the next drill size up, straighten the bolts as close as you can the re-assemble and bed level.
I have had perfect prints now on the X, Y and Z, for a newbie, I am now stoked and will never get rid of this fantastic printer.
OH!!
I found Raft to be the best option for my work, Brim always seemed to lift on 1 or more edges, just reduce the layers to speed printing up.
