Bed-leveling - Which Thread to study

what is the current version (fork?) that we should be using?

I'm not having trouble updating my firmware, it's just that I have an exam on Saturday, a vehicle restoration, doctors' appointments, gardens to maintain, housework to do, transporting of kids, and a 2-year-old grandson to entertain. Sometimes I have to make an appointment to pee!

What I've been doing with regard to the main Marlin branch is go to the owner's page on GitHub. So, in my case I would go to https://github.com/ErikZalm and drill down on Marlin to get the latest version.

You can do the same by going to: https://github.com/beckdac and drilling down on is Marlin. What ever the 'best' is, it would be committed and available by taking that path. It isn't very formal, but Sly20 has a post processing script to find the bed area used by a piece of GCode and I think Dacb is in the process of getting that committed to being part of his branch right now. I'm hoping Sly20 can get some release notes or instructions prepared so what ever slicer a person is using, his script will painlessly bolt in and work. But that isn't a reason for you to hold off. Probably that will be figured out by the time you get the firmware working right.

The firmware is the easy part. The hard part is finding the right bits to print out to add the leveling probe to your printer, whether you're going for the servo probe, or the sled probe, or something else. Well, maybe it's not that hard, as I haven't yet seen any sled probes for the i3v. I use clough42's servo mount http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:335632 and kizinfo's switch mount http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:201406.
