 A. Place a regular sheet of paper on the printer bed, and select “Move Nozzle to Bed”.
-B. After the nozzle is lowered, you should be able to move the paper under the nozzle with a small amount of friction. If you feel no friction, it means the nozzle is too high. Click on “Too High” and retest for friction. If it feels tight or you feel a lot of friction, click on “Too Low”. This will raise the nozzle slightly. Adjust the nozzle until you feel just a small amount of friction between it and the sheet of paper.
