Turn the knob to adjust the bed height, while continuing to move the piece of paper back and forth between the nozzle and bed. Slide the piece of paper between the nozzle and the bed You will repeat this process in many positions to ensure the entire bed is the correct distance from the nozzle This is where you will actually adjust the bed to make sure it is the correct distance from the nozzle. These less rigid springs do not provide as much tension, which can cause the leveling knobs to move slightly during operation. These are included with CR-10 series printers, but not the Ender series which uses standard springs.
We also suggest upgrading your bed springs to more rigid flat springs. (For the S4 and S5, you can 3D print these Knob covers which are as large as will fit on these printers) Note that Similar Plastic knobs already come standard on the Ender 3, and they won’t fit the S4 or S5. We really like adding these large bed leveling knobs on our standard CR-10s since they provide much finer control of the bed height, and are easier to access. However, there are a couple upgrades we’ve found are nice to have both for adjusting the leveling, and to make sure your print bed stays level for longer. Since the width of a sheet of paper is the correct distance between the nozzle and print bed, you’ll be using the paper as a feeler gauge, which we will describe in detail later. The only thing you really need to level the bed is something you probably already have: a sheet of paper. For more information, please see our affiliate link policy.

This process applies to the Ender 3 series, Ender 5 Series the CR-10 S4 and CR-10 S5 printers, and all other Creality FDM 3D printers. Once the bed has been leveled, you shouldn’t need to re-level it unless you make a change to your printer’s hardware or notice issues with prints not sticking to the bed. dislodging mid-print, or curling up at edges)Īfter moving the 3D printer between locationsįortunately, leveling the bed on Creality 3D printers is a straightforward process and will only take you a few minutes.
In this guide, we will show you how to level the print bed on your Creality CR-10, Ender 3, CR10 S5, or other Creality 3D printer. Having a level bed will result in fewer print failures, higher quality prints, and is the key to getting a great first layer on all of your prints. Leveling a 3D printer is the process of calibrating the height of the print bed to ensure it is the correct distance from the print nozzle across its entire surface.
