FDM printer test for bed level

Testing the FDM printer's bed level calibration is a crucial step to ensure accurate and reliable prints. Properly calibrating the bed ensures that the first layer adheres evenly and consistently, allowing for precise control over the print job. Begin by ensuring the build platform is clean and free of debris. Next, load the test sheet provided with your FDM printer into the platform, making sure it's centered and secure. Turn on the printer and initiate the bed level calibration process. The printer will automatically adjust the platform to achieve optimal contact with the test sheet. As this takes place, monitor the printer's display for any error messages or warnings. Once the calibration is complete, remove the test sheet from the build platform and inspect it for proper adhesion. If the adhesive is uneven or weak in certain areas, repeat the calibration process until satisfactory results are achieved. In addition to ensuring accurate prints, calibrating the bed level helps prevent damage to the printer's extruder and other components. Therefore, regular testing of the FDM printer's bed level is highly recommended.
