Description

SpreadSheet Leveling is a method to level (calibrate the height differences) of a print bed inside a delta printer with an interactive SpreadSheet and a caliber instead of a screw driver.

Assumption

  • Use a Delta Printer
  • The Linear System is orthogonal to the Base Box
  • The Linear System is is placed 120° to each other
  • The Bed is mounted parallel to the Base Box
  • The Bed has a high stiffness. E.g. it is a mirror or has a glas plate on top
  • Using a Firmware which has settings for "Endstop Offset" like Repetier-Firmware or Marlin
