+## Leveling
+
+It's extremely important that you follow the leveling procedure below
+
+1. Home the z axis
+2. Navigate to leveling and select Aux Lvl. Do not press auto level- it breaks the printer
+3. Set a negative offset until  the nozzle touches the bed
+4. Move the offset up until the nozzle lifts up from the bed, then go one more up
+5. Go through each corner, rotate the adjustment wheels until the nozzle is just barely above the bed. Don’t worry about being super accurate, mesh leveling will handle any small variances
+6. Re-home the Z axis. This is important because we’ve just shifted the bed’s position.
+7. Re-check that the nozzle is just above the print surface in the center of the bed
+8. print a benchy, adjust the z offset as needed
+
+## Home offset
+
+My printer kept hitting the screws in the print bed. You can set a y offset with the following
+
+```text
+m206 y5
+```
+
+Get the current offset with:
+
+```text
+m503
+```
+
+## ESteps
+
+Get the current esteps
+
+```text
+m503
+```
+
+Set the correct offset with M92
+
+```text
+m92 E403.655

+; Click ②~⑤ in turn, rotate the corresponding leveling nut until it feel a slight sense of friction. Get all of them to have the same feeling for the best result.

+## Print Techniques
+
+### Collapsible Lightsabers
+
+Adjust wipe - 1-3mm seems to do the trick
+
+Print the test blade. It should come off the print without the rings fusing to eachother.
