 * '''IMPORTANT:''' OctoPrint will '''disconnect from Ultimaker 2''' if Ultimaker 1 is powered on. If you want to print on both (or will want to eventually), power both on before starting your print on Ultimaker 2
-*Bed is really warped (higher up in the middle, lower down on the sides). Leveling the bed is unlikely to fix this. Manually adjust the Z-axis for the first layer until the filament is being laid down flat (not rounded). Turn the threaded rod counter-clockwise to lower, clockwise to raise.

+** Manually adjust the Z-axis for the first layer until the filament is being laid down flat (not rounded).
+*** Turn the threaded rod clockwise to bring the head closer to the print bed, and counter-clockwise to move the head further away.
+** for larger parts use 0.2mm layer height (or larger) -- so that if the 2nd layer successfully prints, you get the expected flat surface to continue printing on.
