Anet ET4 X

The Anet ET4 X is an FDM 3D printer from Anet with a 220 x 220 x 250 mm build volume.

Calibration

• Confirm the machine state before touching firmware or slicer settings.

Action: Power on the printer, verify the touchscreen boots normally, and inspect whether the bed, nozzle, and gantry are mechanically intact. Check that the bed glass is seated flat, the nozzle is clean, the filament path is unobstructed, and the X/Y/Z axes can move freely by hand with power off.

Common defects

• Auto-leveling sensitivity and probe inconsistency

Symptoms: First layers vary across the bed, some corners stick while others fail, or the probe seems to “miss” the actual nozzle height.

Likely causes: The ET4 platform uses an auto-leveling sensor/probe, and one review specifically warns that installation and alignment can be tricky; if the probe is mounted incorrectly, it may give false readings.
