Three temperature-range cards (60 – 80 °C / 80 – 100 °C / 100 – 120 °C) — one for each common material category. Each card stores its own mesh profile. The right profile auto-loads at print start based on the G-code's bed temperature.

60 – 80 °C card

Mesh for PLA / TPU.

Stores the bed mesh measured at this card's target temperature. Green border + 'saved' marker means the profile exists. Grey border + 'not saved yet' means you need to calibrate before printing in this range.

2

80 – 100 °C card

Mesh for PETG / ASA.

Same shape — separate mesh because PETG / ASA bed temperatures bow the plate differently than PLA's. Worth measuring before your first PETG print.

3

100 – 120 °C card

Mesh for ABS / PC.

Highest-temp mesh. ABS / PC bow the most — this mesh makes the biggest difference to first-layer quality.

4

Target temperature

Exact temp to mesh at.

The bed temperature the mesh will be measured at when you tap Calibrate. ± steps in 1 °C increments inside the card's range. Most users leave this at the default and don't tweak it.

5

Calibrate button

Runs the full mesh cycle.

Tap to heat → home → probe a ~25-point grid → SAVE_CONFIG. Total time ~5 minutes. Printer auto-returns to this panel when done; the freshly-saved card now has the green border.

Good to know

  • If no profile matches the print's bed temperature, the printer falls back to a flat plane (no compensation). The print will still work — it just won't track bed bow.
  • Re-mesh after physical changes: new build plate, removed and reseated the bed, swapped probe. Otherwise once a year is usually plenty.
