How to Bed Level?

How to Bed Level?
July 14, 2014 04:17PM
I've got my Kossel up and running, but I still haven't gotten my bed quite level yet. I've got the printing flattened (no noticeably concave/convex curve) but my G29 autoprobe results show a slant on my bed. Is there anything else I can look at for leveling, or is G29 the end-all and be-all of bed leveling?

my probe doesn't push itself back up at the end of the probing, so I cant really use that when printing right now...

any help would be appreciated!

Does a Kossel use screws for leveling? If not, try checking out videos from Jay Corture (?). He has a couple on getting your bed level, and from what I have read while trying to level my Rostock Mini, it is better to level the bed first then use the auto-level as a sanity check.

I am using these two guides for tuning my delta. Remember, you can tune a Delta, but you cant tune a fish..... smiling smiley

Thanks! I plan on working on it a bit tonight. I found where the bed currently isn't level and I'll be working on that. once it's level I'll fiddle with the leveling probe and print quality
