MPSM Bed Leveling Utility

cults3d

This is a quick Gcode script for bed leveling on the Monoprice Select Mini, designed to make the process as seamless and efficient as possible. It starts by finding home, then systematically checks five key positions across the build plate, waiting for 5 seconds at each spot to test clearance. The script targets the following locations: Front Left (5,5), Back Left (5,115), Back Right (115,115), Front Right (115,5), and Center (60,60). Two versions of this script are available: Utility_Bed_Leveling.gcode, which incorporates a 5-second pause and a movement speed of 80mm/s. Utility_Bed_Leveling_Quick_2s.gcode, featuring a 2-second pause and a faster movement speed of 100mm/s. To utilize this script effectively, first ensure that there is no filament visible on the outside of your nozzle. Next, place an A4 sheet of paper on the build plate. Running the print will allow you to test the fit at each location by attempting to slide the paper around. After completing all five positions, adjust the four corners as needed. Repeat this process until you are satisfied with the fit. The ideal adjustment involves achieving a certain level of resistance when moving the paper but avoiding any obvious marks or gouges on the surface. The precise fit may vary depending on the thickness of your paper. To adapt this script for use with other printers and configurations, you will need to modify the five positions to align with your build volume and screw locations. For example, "G1 X5 Y5" moves the printer to x=5mm and y=5mm. You should also verify that all Gcode commands are supported by your printer's variant and adjust the pause time as necessary by modifying the delay in the pause commands. Additionally, you can change the movement speed by altering the feed rate set at the beginning of the script, such as "G1 F4800 Z1," which sets the feed rate to 4800mm/min before issuing the first move command. Happy printing!
