| Bed Leveling vs the Bed Mesh articles Do not conflate functions of bed leveling with the bed mesh, they are two distinct and unrelated concepts. The bed is level when its Z plane is orthogonal to the X and Y planes. The bed screws control and define the position of the plane. You will recall from basic geometry that three or more points form a plane, and moving the bed screws align each of the points of the bed to be of equal distance from the print head. | |
| Cleaning the Bed Plate articles about The bed plate must be kept clean to assure good adherence of the filament for your first layer. Clean your bed plate by washing with dish soap (Dawn with its grease cutters works exceptionally well) and hot water and let air dry before returning to the bed. An occasional scrub using a clean ScotchBrite pad can help remove surface build up and oxidation of the PEI textured coating. | |

| What causes parts to be knocked off or shift on the bed plate? faq articles Normally this is caused by a combination of the following issues: Poor Choice of Infill Pattern Infill patterns that cross already drawn infill lines (e.g. grid) are inconsistent with high print velocities. Use patterns like Cross Hatch, Gyroid or Honeycomb instead. Patterns like Cross Hatch offer a good balance of strength and speed along with requiring less infill density (%) than other patterns to achieve the sa… | |
