Quick Guide

10.  Wait for the printer to initialise, with Printer Ready shown at the bottom of the LCD. Press the 

Navigation Dial to enter the Menu System. Rotate the Dial until Position is highlighted, then 

press the Dial to select. Rotate the Dial until Z. Pos. Fast is highlighted, then press to select. 

Rotate the Dial clockwise, raising the Extruder so that you can easily access the Heated Print 

Bed. Turn off your 3D Printer

Levelling the Bed

1.  Squeeze each corner of the Heated Print Bed, and tighten each thumbscrew to reduce the 

distance between plates to a minimum. Wipe the top of the Heated Print Bed with a clean, 

lint-free cloth to ensure no dust particles or other objects are on the Heated Print Bed. 

Remove all the white tape covering the X, Y, Z axis stop micro switch prior to the next step

2.  Using the switch on the back of the Control Box, turn on the Balco 3D Printer. Once initialised, 

press the Navigation Dial to enter the Menu System. Navigate to and select Position then 

select Home All.  Your 3D printer will now try to align to the home position, on the front left 

corner of the Heated Print Bed. Once aligned, turn off the 3D printer

NOTE: Immediately turn off the machine if any of the motors are jamming or forcing against the frame

3.  With the printer powered off, check the Z axis level. The X rail should be parallel to the Heated 

Print Bed. If it is not, manually rotate the right hand side Z axis stepper motor to level it

4.  Manually move the Extruder to one corner of the Heated Print Bed to check the distance 

between the nozzle and Heated Print Bed. Rotate the thumbscrew to raise the Heated Print 

Bed. The distance between the Extruder and bed should be 0.1mm or roughly the thickness 

of an A4 sheet of paper.  The paper should have very slight friction as you move it under the 

Extruder but should still slide freely

5.  Move the Extruder to each of the other corners and repeat the process. Move the Extruder to 

the centre of the Heated Print Bed and test the gap with a sheet of paper. Keep adjusting and 

testing until the gap is uniform on all points of the bed

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Levelling the bed is an extremely important step and if it is not done 

correctly every time, your prints will fail or be of poor quality
