* Turn the paper over
* Turn the paper over
* Use the allen key on the 4 corner screws to ensure that all four corners are equally far away from the print Nozzle.
* Tip 1: Adjust the Z manually until a piece of paper barely fits under the nozzle. Friction will tell you how big the gap is...
* Tip 2: don't scratch the tape on the print bed!
* Tip 3: There are 4 screws, but only 3 free degrees of motion since the bed is FLAT. So this part is TRICKY. Be patient!
* When satisfied, consider adjusting that global Z-height by turning the knob.
* Tip 1 - the knob is not tight, so secure it with the tape so it doesn't accidentally rotate.
* Tip 2- You want the gap to be exactly 0 zero after "homing" the Zaxis
* Tip 3 - After "homing" z, manually adjusting z by 0.1 mm should cause a visible gap between the nozzle & print bed.
