Base plate leveling issues

[Nicholas_Barros]

I’m using a Flashforge Creator (the wood-frame version), and I’m having trouble leveling the base plate. I’m using the base leveling script that comes with the printer and I have tightened the leveling screws under the plate as much as I can, but the plate is still touching the extruder nozzle, to the point it damages the polyamide film. I’ve tried turning the “elevator screw” (the big one which provides vertical movement to the plate) to adjust the height, but I can’t move it when the leveling script is active, and moving the plate this way with the printer turned off or just inactive hasn’t yielded any result.

Any ideas on how to lower the base plate further? Keep in mind this printer I’m using is University property, so I’m afraid opening and messing around with it might not be ideal, but I’d consider it in case it’s necessary.

make sure the screws are tight on the limit switch. the switch mounted on the back wall at the top of the z drive.

the limit switch is responsible for were the bed actually end up. put a spacer between switch and contact point on bed and it will not come up as high. I have made spacers to put under the extrude to accommodate a glass plate as well. I believe you can offset the mounting of the switch too.

Hi Nicholas did you verified if the head of the heatbed is not unscrewed or if the endstop z (electric contact) is ok on is place ?
