=== Bed Levelling ===
If the printer is not printing properly (especially if the issue is noticeable on the very first layers of the print, where a difference in the ), the build plate level may need to be adjusted. For minor adjustments, this can be done by using the three knobs (thumb screws) on the underside of the plate. For more major adjustments (>1mm), the build plate should be leveled through the printer’s onboard software by going to ''Maintenance→Build Plate'', and following the onscreen instructions. If unsure, always use the latter method.
=== Filament Change ===
To change the filament on an Ultimaker 2+ printer, go to ''Material→Change'' in the printer’s user interface and follow the onscreen instructions. If ever the filament has almost run out, or if you desire to change the colour of a print midway, you may navigate to ''Pause→Change Material'' and following the onscreen instructions. If changing mid way, it is recommended that the older filament be completely purged from the nozzle using the new filament. Otherwise, the result will not be good.
