Auto bed levelling - Multiple axis

Auto bed levelling - Multiple axis

Hi All,
Specifically this question is directed at AlexBorro but advice is welcome by all.

Is it possible to utilise the auto bed level feature of Marlin on both the X and Y axis in addition to the designed Z axis?

The idea being to eliminate the effect of building a reprap out of square utilising software as the solution just as is implemented on the Z axis.

Both the X and Y axis min stop switches would be used to identify each respective plane as they are already in place.

Conceivably a simple solution to a (first time builder perspective) tricky problem?

As I say advice is welcome by all.

Cheers,
Shaneo

How would using fixed X and Y endstops identify that the X or Y plane is out of square? They can only probe one point each.

You could determine the offset relative to the build plate and Ymin(or Ymax) by travelling Xmin through Xmax and measuring the variation.
If you know how far out of square you are, then the software can calculate the correction required to maintain square.
