If only I had seen this video 6-7 years ago. This is the simplest and most straight forward bed leveling tutorial I’ve seen yet. Young me would’ve suffered a lot less if I had seen this in 2017/2018.

Thanks as always Ricky; you’re a star with your support and great vids

[wyattholman]

I’m about ready to get rid of my printer its pissing me off

[Chiefiess]

You fixed my problem, thanks for this tutorial! Helps a lot.

[LavenderFoil]

i dont know of this is on my peinter but just an advice shouldnt you do the middle aswell? (without gears)

[Windows-hub]

Just this simple short fixed my printer, even though I did it a bit different

[fionoz]

TBH, I would just install Jyers firmware and do it with a
Z offset and a better system with pre determined co-ords for bed levelling. Its much easier than it seems.

[simonbyrne]

How do you ensure that Z doesn't move when moving the hot end from corner to corner?

[Matthews_Media]

Did you leave the Z-Offset at 0.1 or did you return it to 0.00 before printing?

My bed is not that close to the nozzle, what should I do

[anthonybradway]

In the same boat with everyone when I bought my Ender 3 Pro 4 years ago! Imagine the headache we would have saved if the money we spent we could have just bought a Bambu Lab A1 and not have to worry about any of that! That the frustrating part I’m feeling now 😣

[andre-urlf]

but keeping the z at 0.1 while moving it around, wouldnt it scratch the bed? if it wasnt leveled right at first.

What if you do not have levelers on your print table????

[kirkwellecohouse]

When trying this method, I found that the Z-Axis had a tendency to move as the stepper is not locked but there was no way to disable the X and Y axis motors only.
I had much better results using a simple GCODE file (downloaded from Thingiverse) to move the head between the four corners, pausing at each. Much quicker too.

[Longliveicecream]

The board and nozzle is now clamp, can level it up or down any more. What do I do?

[williamwiese]

Don't forget to level your X axis arm first, then bed.

[DeRock]

My printer doesn’t have manual leveling knobs. I am so frustrated. I auto leveled and bed is clean but can’t seem to print shit.

[Birb-bcjw]

can you herlp me? My ender 3 v3 se cant print anything, when ever the fil;iment comes out of the nozzle it dopesnt stick on the bedc and it casn print anything

[maxiscool]

Idk if I’ve screwed something up with my printer or what, but no matter what, my springs never get tight for the bed, and they look all mangled. I’ve only printed like 10 things on it since I got it 3 months ago and it hasn’t been level for 2 months

Step One : Don’t buy Ender 3
Step Two : Buy Bambú Lab A1 or A1 Mini
