Clean the plate and screen area, loosen the plate as specified, home against the approved leveling surface, square the plate, tighten evenly, and set zero only.
Start hereClean the plate and screen area, loosen the plate as specified, home against the approved leveling surface, square the plate, tighten evenly, and set zero only when the manufacturer procedure requires it.
First safe actionRun the first safe check and change one variable at a time.
Proof targetA small representative test no longer shows the original symptom.
Match the failed area to the visual before changing a setting.
Repair progress0 of 8 complete
Step 1 of 8
Remove and filter resin if required by the machine procedure.
Keep the problem and target visual open while you make this change.
Why this matters
Initial gap differs across the build area.
Setting or checkBottom exposure
Tune only after the plate is level.
Expected result
The original symptom no longer appears during a representative calibration or short test print.
Step 2 of 8
Clean and inspect the build plate, screen protector, and leveling surface.
Keep the problem and target visual open while you make this change.
Why this matters
The angle shifts during peeling.
Setting or checkBottom-layer count
Use the resin and printer profile as a starting point.
Expected result
Measurements, temperatures, motion, feed, or exposure remain stable through the complete test.
Step 3 of 8
Check the plate joint and mounting hardware for play or damage.
Keep the problem and target visual open while you make this change.
Why this matters
Foreign material changes the reference.
Setting or checkLift speed
Does not correct a tilted plate.
Expected result
No new warning, collision, leak, electrical smell, unusual heat, or material damage appears.
Step 4 of 8
Loosen the designated leveling screws only.
Keep the problem and target visual open while you make this change.
Why this matters
Saved height does not match the physical plate.
Setting or checkBottom exposure
Tune only after the plate is level.
Expected result
The successful change is recorded with printer, material, slicer, nozzle or resin, and date.
Step 5 of 8
Home the plate using the supplied card, paper, or vat method specified by the manufacturer.
Keep the problem and target visual open while you make this change.
Why this matters
The surface cannot contact evenly.
Setting or checkBottom-layer count
Use the resin and printer profile as a starting point.
Expected result
The original symptom no longer appears during a representative calibration or short test print.
Step 6 of 8
Apply even pressure while tightening screws in a cross pattern.
Keep the problem and target visual open while you make this change.
Why this matters
Initial gap differs across the build area.
Setting or checkLift speed
Does not correct a tilted plate.
Expected result
Measurements, temperatures, motion, feed, or exposure remain stable through the complete test.
Step 7 of 8
Set Z zero only if the machine procedure explicitly requires it.
Keep the problem and target visual open while you make this change.
Why this matters
The angle shifts during peeling.
Setting or checkBottom exposure
Tune only after the plate is level.
Expected result
No new warning, collision, leak, electrical smell, unusual heat, or material damage appears.
Step 8 of 8
Run a small multi-location validation print before a full plate.
Keep the problem and target visual open while you make this change.
Why this matters
Foreign material changes the reference.
Setting or checkBottom-layer count
Use the resin and printer profile as a starting point.
Expected result
The successful change is recorded with printer, material, slicer, nozzle or resin, and date.
