Hi Guys,

I have my OctoPi set-up to do "auto" bed levelling. So I just choose the point and it moves to the same exact point every single time. For me, it makes the bed levelling so much easier as I just tap on my phone the points and double check them.

If anyone using Octopi wants to do this, let me know I'll post it up.

Also some bad news for me, I received my Maghold platform. The platform and the spring plate were both dented at the top left side. I have emailed their customer support, hopefully they will reply with a agreeable solution.

I feel for you and why I think these sellers need to start shipping in wooden crates instead of cardboard. Sort of like they do for the marble/granite surface plates. Seriously, the shipping companies are horrible in the USA and insurance doesn't matter. Try and get a payout from UPS it is almost impossible these days.

Sometimes it is the company that sent something bent/dented but most times it is the shipping company's employees having fun with it. At the very least a thin aluminum plate and the employee chunks a 75 pound item onto it and at the right angle (like my frame) it ends it.

How is that better than moving the print head by hand? Nothing really "Auto" about it, you still have to turn the leveling nuts to adjust.

That's why the "auto" is in inverted commas. Haha.
For me, my printer is on the floor, so I have to bend down and look to see if the wingnut is directly over the nozzle and adjust. So this makes my job easier, I just have to adjust the wingnut. Or maybe I am too lazy.

Ya man, I hope at the very least they send me a replacement spring sheet. I can try to file the aluminium block to make it smooth again.

It doesn't have to be directly over the leveling screw. Close counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and bed leveling position. :-)

The thing is you could file it but you shouldn't have to and I know I wouldn't. Lets hope they make it right for you.

They have great support and should have no problem replacing the part. I got a badly cut spring steel sheet that didn't quite fit right and they sent me another one along with a free buildtak sheet.

Yes please post up how you set this up. Also, do you have the other startup gcode pasted in? or is this raw?

Do baby your buildtak mine ripped up in the middle after less than 2 weeks light use and thus far maghold responded with buildtak is not covered under any warranty exact phrase it could last 1 print it could last 100.
