I have performed the platen alignment procedure¹ "by the book" dozens of times. Meaning I have never used the ![[Image: MarsZ=0Buton-00.jpg]](http://www.paladinmicro.com/images/EleGoo-Etc/MarsZ=0Buton-00.jpg)
button.
Though it is shown (grayed) in a couple of illustrations in he user manual, there is no textual reference to its use or need to be used.
Perhaps using it is the problem?
------------------------------------
¹ - This action is not "leveling", as it does not align anything relative to the Earth's gravitational pull (as is done with filament printers).
It is an alignment process to ensure that the build plate's face is in the same plane as the LCD screen. Elegoo's (or anyone else's) calling it "leveling" does mot make it such. You can "call a cow's tail a leg", but that does not mean a cow has five legs.
