Question about Auto/Manual bed leveling
July 06, 2016 10:16AM
Hello everyone, I recently bought a Micromake D1 printer. It is well built but the software support is not that great. The printer comes with auto bed leveling but I don't think it is working. I was wondering if there is a way I can manually work on the bed leveling. There are codes like G32 and M557 etc. I have no idea how to use them effectively. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how I can put certain codes in my gcode for every print that will do the leveling for me. Thanks.

Not familiar with the MicroMake, but on my Rostock the carriages have screws for triggering the endstops, so using Minow's delta calibration guide, I can manually adjust each screw to calibrate the bed.

Alternatively, Escher3D has a web-enabled wizard for manually calibrating your build surface with his least-squares (?) routine used in the RepRapFirmware. I believe it should have instructions for sending commands to your printer via gcode.

I do not know anything about MicroMake, but if you are desperate then read this:
[github.com]

Also search for DC42's posts. He implemented the idea in a Duet firmware and has some web page about calibration.
