  Klipper can’t do a bed mesh if the printer doesn’t have a probe.

  Manual bed leveling means using a sheet of paper and adjusting bed screws to get it at the right height.

    Exactly, and neither of those are an accelerometer like the other user claimed is required

      He’s using the wrong words. No printer has an accelerometer.

      Automatic bed leveling requires a printer support it. Klipper can’t do it if the hardware isn’t there. Same with flow rate calibration. Manual in Klipper requires test prints and then editing the config files. Flow rate on modern printers is calibrated automatically using the camera.

        No printer has an accelerometer.

        Of they do, mine has one from the manufacturer (Qidi Xmax3) and I added one to my old bedalifer from any cubic. It is extremely common today that even printers come with accelerometers built in to the toolhead board. Basically any consumer coreXY printer on the market today has this.
