Bed Leveling Assist Tool - Ender 3

thingiverse

Currently designed for Ender 3 and CR-10 printers only, this accessory makes leveling your print bed more visually appealing. Like most innovations, this one was born from trying to accomplish something else. I discovered that I had accidentally created a tool to help with bed leveling by chance. I never liked the "paper method" because it required constantly moving the printhead around and leveling the bed based on feel alone. With this tool, you can get a visual representation of your adjustments in addition to some tactile feedback. Note: This tool will not determine the correct height for the bed; only if it is level. Other steps need to be taken if using this method of bed leveling. Note: Unless paper is fully adhered to the print bed, acknowledge that the paper may bend and warp slightly as you move away from where it was secured. I find slight variations in line quality are okay when being precise; extruded plastic will be more forgiving than a pen or marker when it comes to variations in surface levelness of the bed. You might also need an M3x6 screw, depending on your writing tool.
