A common issue encountered during automated bed leveling procedures involves the sensor failing to detect the print surface within its operational range. This typically results in the probe extending beyond the boundaries of the build platform, rendering the leveling process ineffective. For example, this can occur if the probe offset is incorrectly configured, or if the printer’s firmware does not accurately reflect the physical dimensions of the print bed.
Addressing this issue is crucial for reliable and accurate 3D printing. Successful bed leveling ensures proper first layer adhesion, which is fundamental to the overall quality and dimensional accuracy of printed objects. Historically, manual bed leveling was a time-consuming and often inconsistent process. The introduction of automated probing systems aimed to alleviate these difficulties, but requires careful calibration and configuration to function correctly.
