About this generator
A perfect first layer is smooth, with lines that just touch. Compare the pads to see where the bed is too high or too low.
How to use
- Enter your bed size.
- Use the same layer height as your slicer's first layer.
- Keep the model centered on the bed when slicing.
Printing tips
- Lines with gaps: nozzle too high there. Rough or transparent: too low.
- Clean the bed before testing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I read the result?
Lines with gaps between them mean the nozzle is too high in that spot. A rough or see-through surface means it is too low. Adjust the leveling or Z offset and print again.
Which bed size should I enter?
The printable area of your bed, so the pads land near the corners.
