How to quickly test Auto bed leveling?
November 26, 2016 02:48PM
Sorry for the stupid question. I have been playing with s $2,50 inductive sensor which is surprisingly accurate and consistent. In order to get the perfect Z offset I have been printing a part with the dimensions of the printable part of the heated bed and a thickness of 0,2mm (1st layer thickness). But is there a way to do this without actually printing? Can I somehow move the nozzle in the XY plane while the Z height is fixed but at the same time the printer "is doing its thing" compensating for any imperfections in the bed alignment?

Start a print with no filament in the extruder?

You could send M92 E0 before you start printing. That sets the e-steps to Zero. If you don't want to heat the Extruder, send M302 to allow cold extrusion.
