Printer Bed Leveling STL

thingiverse

2015.12.10 I've just updated the STLs, as some Slicing software was starting the print from the inside out.... When slicing in MakerBot set the number of Shells to 300. If using Slic3r, then set the Perimeters to 300' (Update message:- I've just uploaded a 190mm x 120mm version for smaller beds. The size isn't important, other than you need it to fit on your Work Platform (Bed)). The original was 210mm x 140mm. If you have a need for a smaller version, please msg me and I'll add one for you). This is a simple STL that just has your printer drawing a square on the Print Bed. How to Use:- 1) Set your Bed level by moving the Extruder above the four adjusting screws, and gapping with paper. So you can just feel some light resistance. 2) Slice the attached STL and print the file (don't worry you won't be printing it ALL unless your very slow at setting up the table) preferably using a Coloured filament (eg Black is great). Remember to set the Shells/Perimeters to 300..... 3) Watch the print taking shape. If the print is transparent, then the Table/Nozzle gap is to small, so tighten up the screws. If the print is highly coloured (A solid Colour), then the Nozzle/Table gap is to big. 4) As the Print head moves around the table, tweek the adjusting screws until the print just starts to pick up colour all over the Bed, and the feeder doesn't skip. That's your bed really nice and level now... :)
