Comment on Why do 3D printer manufacturers not get the details right? e.g. rotation indicator on bed levelling wheels

My printer doesn’t tell me shit about how much it needs to be adjusted. The level routine is to move the head the 3 corners put a piece of paper under the nozzle and loosen the leveling screw until it is lightly touching. I made a mount to use a dial indicator but it really just made the process take longer.

I always had terrible luck with that. I've just resorted to printing large squares and adjusting until the square sticks the way I want.

  I use a 10-year old e3d sticker, I set the nozzle so that the sticker’s back can easily slide underneath, but when it reaches the actual sticker it doesn’t fit. Works great.

  I’ve made myself a gcode file that is just several tracks of skirt going around the bed several times. Works like a charm for leveling for me, and it’s fun to peel off after the nozzle.
