Bed Adjustment - Direction of Adjustment

Hi,

My printer was working fine, until I swapped the X-Axis bearings as one was getting very noisy.

After re-assembly I reran calibration, and adjusted the Live-Z so that I get a nice even layer for the first layer.

I have noticed that i'm getting a problem with prints lifting at the 'front' of the print, even though the first layer seems to be fine, it feels like the front of the bed is a little low.

This is worse when printing ABS not surprisingly - so it feels like I want to add some bed correction.

My question is if the bed is a little low at the front, which direction do i have to adjust the bed (i.e. is a negative adjustment an adjustment up) ?

Thanks

Peter

Negative values lower the nozzle.

Thanks for that - sounds like that's what I need

I also think for ABS I need to try lowering the nozzle a little more - will try one at once to not get confused.
