Recommended Heights

Hi im very very new to the 3D Printing world and could really do with some help if there is any.

I have just finished building my Prusa i3 model and was wondering if there is any recommended height settings for the print bed and for the threaded rods to be set?


Kind Regards

recommended height settings for the print bed

so long as its levelled you fine.
has the bed got springs I'll tighten it down so it doesn't wobble while printing but lose enough that if the z axis/nozzle crashes into the bed you got time to react and switch off before any real damage.

what you should experiment with is layer height in your slicer, while printing and best result depends on the size of the nozzle orifice "example for a .35 nozzle a layer hight of 0.22 gives good result"
