My first printer, a Printrbot Simple, came with ABL on it, so when I built my Prusa i3, I added on a zprobe for ABL since I have never manually leveled my bed. Now the ABL is taking longer to setup on my i3 and is very finicky. How would I go about adding manual leveling screws? Here is my current setup. I have a glass bed and aluminum Y carriage coming in the mail. Any pics of your setup would be appreciated. Also, I wanted to print some thumbscrews to go over the bolts for easier adjustment. Is that recommended?

I use this

Or you can just put a piece of glass on top of the heat bed. Then put springs in each corner with a washer against the heatbed and carriage. The wiki has some good info. Make sure your 4 corner bolts are long enough to accommodate the bed springs. Hold the glass in place with the clamps you have.
