As a newbie I will confirm this. As anal as I thought I was, and tried to be with manually leveling my bed, the ABL code by Roxy has shown me a new level of not only the first layer, but the entire print as a new level of print quality. The difference in having the machine and programming do the heavy lifting a far as ensuring both adhesion and print quality is honestly dramatic. It is definitely worth the effort to get it working. I would be shocked to not see this incorporated in new Makerfarm printers in the near future. I works better than manually leveling and is repeatable form print to print. It doesn't get rid of the need to get your bed close to level manually, but it seems to refine the leveling to a point that I can't do by myself. And you only have to get it working correctly once, then it's on cruise control. Once you get it working the first time, it just continues to work.
