I just got my da Vinci Junior 3-D printer and discovered that the distance between the nozzle and the bed is off by 1.5 mm from the left edge to the right edge. I don't see how to correct this discrepancy. Is this unit defective? See the pictures below for clarity.?

Thanks for the input.  The video is not for my model which is supposed to not need calibration.  I thought about using a dial indicator but didn't know how to mount it but this video reminded  me I could just make a mount.  I did end up shimming the base platen glass and got it parallel to the nozzle plane.  It does work OK but a little worried that the nozzle carriage may have been bent in shipping so still not sure if I  should get it exchanged (Amazon).  I am hoping the TWIT Know How folks will address this on their unit.

The platen alignment seems to be a common issue with other owners so I am not so sure another unit will be any better.  It may be a packaging problem of not adequately supporting the nozzle structure for shipping.  Mine works fine with the shimmed platen.  Now I need to find a source for the propriatery filament cartridge.  Amazon reports 1 to 2 months.
