Na it isn't really as bad, but the mods I make to my printers take time. Direct wiring the build plate power (+) directly to the power supply is most important. Do the math on this. 24v / 2ohm build plate. that is 12 amps flowing through a plug that on its best day is rated for 7 amps.
I've been wanting to put the adjusters on the outside corners for many moons. I don't have time to make the mod on this printer, but I want to switch to 4mm bolts for the levelers. The holes are 4mm and just need to be slightly enlarged and countersunk to allow 4mm bolts.

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.

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.

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.

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.
