There's a lot of info here and sorry if I missed this plugin already being discussed...
I used to switch back and forth from my Pi to my laptop so that I could bed level with S3D. Then I realized that in Bed Leveling Plugin (2.1.0) I could set the parameters of what locations I wanted to do the leveling. I like to use 100x100, 200x100, 100x200, and 200x200, but it's simple to change to whatever best fits your next print.
Looks like the main difference is that that one has custom points, heat up paramaters,doesn't automatically home, and doesn't have the wizard aspect that this one has, unless I'm missing that part.
So I didn't use the plugin for a while after I installed it because I didn't look at the settings to see if you could put in your own locations. It's been through several updates since I installed it so I'm not sure if that feature was there when I originally installed it or not.
I have gotten used to Homing prior to using it. It's not that big of a deal that there isn't an Auto Home.
A few months ago, I configured a set of buttons to do this job, using the "Terminal Commands" plugin.
The first button homes all three axes, and the other three raise the Z axis, travel to the next corner and lower the Z by the same amount it lifted.
So the procedure is to click the buttons one after the other.
Sure, it isn't a wizard, but I like it, and it's a good workaround until something better comes along.
Having design/installed a method of adjusting the height of each corner, as combined with this plugin, it's a brilliant solution for me. I'm now printing maximum-sized parts without curling nor 1st-layer adhesion problems.
I haven't yet, primarily because the printer I use Octoprint on does not have finger-adjustable bed height screws. The screws are cap screws requiring an allen key to adjust, and are underneath the bed heater. To adjust, I cycle through my positions and measure the height from the hotend mount to the bed, writing each one down, then lifting the bed out and making adjustments. It's a three-point suspension on the bed, so I usually require a few iterations. I do plan on adding finger-adjustable screws soon.
I have just downloaded the wizard and will give it a try.
I'm new with the whole 3D printing (but at least I have programmer experience ). Can't we get a small interface with bed/nooze temp control, and rectangle draw? In my exp, printing is the best measurement of bed leveling, and I hate it, when I need to adjust the last corner, and need to waste all the material for all the other rects from the standard bedleveling models.
Hi, I think on the new octopi version (1.4.0) the "ABL Expert Plugin" Version 0.5 is not working anymore.
In the plugin menu there are no setting options. Can anyone check this? Thanks
