A number of 3D printers do not allow the user to see the data generated by the automatic bed levelling process. This application running on a Windows PC connects to the printer using a USB cable (A to micro) and sends the necessary gcode commands to run the bed levelling process. The printer bed is probed following which the application shows a matrix with colours to indicate the measurements to provide a quick indication of how level the bed is. (4x4 or 5x5 matrix)

Colours used:

Red (> 0.1mm) , Yellow (> 0.2mm), Orange (> 0.3mm) - Too high
Green - OK (+/- 0.1mm)
Blue (< - 0.1mm), Indigo (< -0.2mm), Violet (< -0.3mm) - Too low

Set values can be changed in the commands.txt file.

The data sent to the printer is read from a comma separated text file, the first line of the file explains the format used. There is no requirement to modify the file to use the application, however the option exists should anyone need it. Each line of the text file contains a single command

Features

  • Display bed level results from an ABL enabled 3D printer
  • Show measurement in a graphical interface to quickly show the bed level state
  • Send gcode commands manually to the connected printer
  • Support 16 or 25 sensor point measurements

  • Have levelled the bed of my Ender 3 Max Neo. took a little time but got it levelled to an agreable level. the only question i have, how do I set the different "height"-colours you mentioned in the description. Thanks for this usefull piece of software.
