GCode procedures for easier manual bedleveling Tevo Tornado

thingiverse

4 procedures in Gcode for manual bedleveling. Setting the bed is annoying enough, this makes it all a little bit easier I hope. I searched the internet for a code like this but couldn't find it. The codes do not print anything, only intended to adjust the bed. Start a code the same as you start a print. Initially written for the (standard) Tevo Tornado. But the Gcode is easy to adjust for your own printer. The Gcode files contain two patterns for leveling. In a rectangle (square), and across the diagonals (radial). I think the last one is the better one and gives better results. Both patterns are also available for a cold bed and for a heated bed (bed 50 degrees C, 200 C for the nozzle). The codes for the heated bed preheats the bed and the nozzle before the adjusting-procedure begins. The Gcode jumps from point to point, and pauses in between for adjusting. Press the knob for the next point. The points are far enough away from the edge of the bed to hold back the screws in case they rotate during adjustment (a Tornado thingy). If you are adjusting the Gcode for the radial-Gcodes, be sure (for best result) that the adjustment-points are on the diagonals from screw to screw (see picture). Of course the use of these codes is entirely at your own risk. Check carefully that your bed is free and has enough space to move. Happy bedleveling :) See http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code for more information about Gcode.
