Wow! that's an amazingly complex process, if it works for you all well and good.
We have 15 Anycubic Mega printers, so we can't justify that rigmarole, I do all the Z clearance adjustments visually...
<Home All> <Turn Off Motors> then set the height on each of the corners; when I move from left to right I note if the nozzle gets too close to the bed, if so I adjust the front right screw until the nozzle can reach the Right corner and set the clearance at the two corners to be equal. I then move it back to the front centre and adjust BOTH front screws by the same amount until the centre clearance looks to be approximately 0.12mm.
Then I repeat the exercise for the two rear screws,
Finally I check the centre of the bed and if necessary make equal adjustments to all four screws until the centre clearance looks to be approximately 0.12mm (with a really clean bed and printing PL, anywhere within 0.1mm to 0.15mm is OK, although below 0.12 tends to give a more marked elephant's foot effect).
As we use 'PETlock' bed adjusters, the beds then usually don't need any adjustment over several thousands of hours of printing.
Please explain to me how to...
