Hello, the bed is at the lowest it'll go with the knob and the paper still won't go underneath it. What can I do to fix this issue?

It sounds like the bed leveling needs to be adjusted.

Make sure the printer is on a level surface.
Preheat the printer to the temperature recommended for the material you are using.
Gently move the printer nozzle to the center of the bed.
Use a piece of paper as a feeler gauge and place it between the nozzle and the bed.
Adjust the bed height by turning each leveling knob one at a time until you feel a slight resistance.
Move the nozzle to each corner of the bed and adjust the leveling knobs as needed to ensure the same resistance is felt with the paper.
Repeat the process until the paper can move freely between the nozzle and the bed at all four corners.

If the bed still does not level properly after following these steps, it may be necessary to replace the leveling mechanism or seek help from a professional.

You can raise the z endstop

#

how would I go on about doing that?

#

You would unscrew it and move it higher up

#

If that’s even possible on this printer

#

The printer also looks like it has 2 lead screws so you could twist one and leave the other still to tilt the gantry

Raising the z offset will work

#

#

#

just raise the z offset in software instead of physically moving it

#

I moved it way up, and then way back down and i could just barely tighten it so its even, but i managed to leveled it. If my issue persists im going to have to change it in software

#

thank you!
