hey guys!

So I have a monoprice 3d the marker architect version (the one with the wooden frame) and I recently updated the printing software to simplify3d its great but one problem my printer bed. For some reason I cannot align the plate correctly it is the one with screws. I hate it, I know there is the jogg mode but I have no clue how that works. Can anyone give me tips or recommend a part that I can purchase so it adjusts the bed automatically. Please guys anyone out there who can help. Im more of a visual learner so if you can recommend me some videos or anything of that nature that will be great. Thank you so much.

As far as the Bed Leveling Wizard, this is what it seems to do: When you start the wizard, it homes all axis. Next step it increases your Z axis to the offset setting (not in front of Simplify3D software at the moment), which defaults to 0.1 mm, and moves to the first leveling position. You use a piece of paper (or something that is the thickness set in the above mentioned offset) and physically adjust your bed height with the screws, until you start to get a little drag. Then click Next and the wizard goes to the next position and repeat. It does each position twice. You set your own leveling spots and also adjust the Z offset if you wish. Hope this helps.

Hello

Are these settings from the monoprice printer itself? Or do i do this from simplify 3d. Thanks again for replying back.

This is the Bed Leveling Wizard in Simplify 3D. I actually have a Mendelmax 3 printer, but I assume in Simplify 3D it works the same for all printers.

I will try this out tonight and let you know my progress. Thanks I hope you dont mind. There is no one else out there that can assist me. Thanks again.

Hey! Thanks for the help, it worked. Sorry for the late reply but the only other issue is im having curling and bad prints. Now I believe its too close. This is a tricky game, either its that or its too hot.

Here is info on the Architect from this page:

This is a heated bed for the Flashforge Creator, and the Monoprice Architect is the Flashforge Creator. I figured for $15 I’d take a chance on it. Even still, the official one is only $39.

It says the Architect is a Flashforge Creator clone. There is lots of info on the web about the Flashforge Creator.
