If you encounter this problem, I'd suggest to sand them down to the height of the shortest one. If you do so, pay attention to sand them down perpendicular - you don't want to end up with a tilted surface/spacer. You could also try to shim it out of course, but especially if the differences are pretty small, then this can be a real hassle. - +![Stock vs longer spacers](../assets/images/bed_K2Pro_stock-spacer-vs-longer_web.jpg) --- @@ -501,10 +500,13 @@ To keep this section 'short', please see the expandable textbox below for the fu ## Anycubic LeviQ 2.0 - Automatic Bed 'Leveling' Function -The printer comes with an automatic 25 point bed 'leveling' function called "Anycubic LeviQ 2.0". -This function measures the distance of the inductive [ABL sensor](printhead.md#abl-sensor) to the PEI plate in a 5x5 grid, therefore at 25 points. +The printer comes with an automatic 49 point bed 'leveling' function called "Anycubic LeviQ 2.0". +This function measures the distance of the inductive [ABL sensor](printhead.md#abl-sensor) to the PEI plate in a 7x7 grid, therefore at 49 points.
