Having a perfect back is only important if you are gonna see it if not who cares? I can understand all the people who want to get things perfect and measured correctly, but it really isn't that necessary.

Occasionally if im lazy my first layer is terrible, but on certain models who cares if i dont? as long as the rest are fine its only like 0.1mm lol. Īs long as you get good surface adhesion on the first layer, I wouldn't worry about specifics.Its not that complicated or important for most prints in my opinion. I think you are over thinking the whole levelling thing. What benefit does this gauge thing bring other than making the first layer maybe 0.05mm or something closer or further from the base? I get no issues, and perfect layer height every time. That gauge thing seems like total overkill to a non-existant issue? I mean who cares what the first layer looks like? as long as the rest are perfect? unless am i missing something? I print in 0.06, 0.1, and 0.2 and treat each print exactly the same.

Simple.might be the other way round though, lol, i haven't done it in ages. further from the glass then turn it clockwise. If you seethe line getting too thin turn the screw slightly anticlockwise and if its too dark (i.e. Its worth getting the hang of it and then you'll do it all the time. It saves a lot of time messing around with the calibrating and also saves re-levelling later as you generally are correcting it every once in a while by adjusting the screws on the fly. I'l second that method, and to tell the truth i think quite a lot of people level by eye during the brim or outlining stage.
