Software Print Leveling

The Software Print Leveling feature of MatterControl compensates for an uneven bed. It is a form of Automatic Print Leveling. Measurement is taken of the bed as it is, then G-Code is adjusted as the print happens. The G-Code itself is not changed, but rather a filter is applied, making adjustments on-the-fly. For this reason, existing .gcode files can be printed using MatterControl with Software Print Leveling applied.

Click the slider to the right to enable or disable Software Print Leveling. An icon will appear next to the extruder temperature indicator if leveling is enabled.

Click the pencil icon () to edit existing leveling data.

Based on the leveling solution specified in slice settings, the printer will run through a 3-, 7-, or 13-point configuration wizard to sense the shape and orientation of the print bed.

First, the wizard explains the basic process and tells the user to get a piece of paper.

At each point, the wizard has the user test the height at low, medium, and high precision.

When all point have been measured, the wizard is complete.
