I have a Prusa Mendel for a couple of years now and I still haven't succeeded in getting a really flat printer bed. (I am not spending too much time on this project anymore
). Now, instead of optimising the printer even further I though of measuring the z position with a pressure sensor attached to the extruder and scanning for the same pressure at different x/y positions, registering the corresponding z position.
With this I can then build a flat surface that I use to start printing... So far the idea...
Did anyone already implement something like this? Are there any software solutions out there for this or do I have to implement it myself?
Or is there a better solution ?
Thanks for any feedback
