Do:

  1. With the printer upright, measure between the facing inner faces of the two bed extrusions: 130 mm clear.
  2. Centre that gap, 65 mm from the centreline to each inner face.
  3. Measure at both ends; both must match.

check Check

130 mm clear gap between the facing inner faces, so 150 mm centre-to-centre, 65 mm from the centreline to each, the same at both ends.

helperHelper Holds the rule on one inner face and reads the gap at each end.

What you're looking at

Manual p.20: the bottom frame in plan, the two bed extrusions 65 mm each side of the centreline, 130 mm apart. They carry the plate's four mounting points, so you re-check Ch 01's placement here.
