Self-Leveling Bed A self-leveling bed is an advanced 3D printer feature that uses sensors and automated adjustments to ensure the build surface is perfectly leveled. This technology compensates for uneven surfaces, reducing the risk of poor first-layer adhesion and warping. Some printers use inductive, capacitive, or strain-gauge sensors to map the bed and adjust the Z-axis accordingly. Self-leveling beds significantly improve print consistency, particularly in large-format printers, where minor deviations can cause print failures. |
