<p>Another advantage of some ABL systems is that once the Z offset is set, you can interchange build surfaces of various thicknesses, with no changes needed for a successful first layer. Assuming the probe is triggered the same way on the bed surface, the Z offset is applied to this trigger point and the first layer height should be the same. On a manually levelled bed, the four corner knobs would need to be turned in unison to raise or lower the bed in accounting for thickness of the new build surface.</p>
<h2>First layer gcode generator</h2>
<p>The following form will create a series of five squares that you can use to live level your bed or set the Z offset. It is quick to print and features one square in the middle of the bed, with four others in the corners. You can use these to turn the levelling knobs in each corner until they are consistent, or ensure your ABL system is working if you have one in place.</p>
<p>This test uses a <b>0.2mm</b> first layer height.</p>

<p>The following form will create a retraction tower to conveniently test back to back parameters in the same print. Of the three available parameters, it is best to change only one per test print. For example, keep the retraction speed and extra restart distance the same, but vary the retraction distance over each segment. Changing more than one parameter makes is hard to tell what made the difference. The print is quick, so repeat the test varying other parameters until you are happy with them all.</p>

<h4>Understand your machine before attempting modification</h4>
<p>Perhaps you have arrived at this page with a standard printer that has broken down. In this case, ignore this heading. Many people, however, will arrive at this page after performing modifications to their machine. When they try to turn it back on, something doesn't work as expected.</p>
<p>Often people fall into the trap of modifying a 3D printer as a beginner, immediately after purchase. This can be quite risky. Firstly, they do not have a good working knowlegde of how their printer functions. They have not seen it in action long enough to what the purpose of each component is, which increases the chance of components being reinstalled incorrectly.</p>
<p>Often people fall into the trap of modifying a 3D printer as a beginner, immediately after purchase. This can be quite risky. Firstly, they do not have a good working knowledge of how their printer functions. They have not seen it in action long enough to know what the purpose of each component is, which increases the chance of components being reinstalled incorrectly.</p>
<p>Another potential problem is that the user will not appreciate the benefits of the upgrade because they have not worked with the printer in its 'inferior' standard state. In some cases something like an ABL probe will be fitted immediately, before the user understands how to manually level the bed. The rush to upgrade deprives the user of learning the fundamentals necessary for efficient and effective long term operation. I am a fan of using ABL for the added convenience and the ability to compensate for a warped bed, but this is because I spent many years without ABL on a less than precise printer.</p>
<h4>Be methodical: only test/change/modify one aspect at a time</h4>
<p>Beginners often tear down a printer and upgrade multiple things at once, which means when it goes back together and doesn't work they have no idea which new component is the problem.</p>
