BED LEVELING TEST PAD

For all of you that have been using various celulose based feeler gauges...look no further

This is a printable first layer adhesion test for everyone that think global warming and autoleveling function is a hoax... fake news ladies and gentleman

Works dandy on glass because glass is usually flatter than other non-machined beds and thus better (at least in my case)

Test pads are for beds 200x200, 300x300, 400x400

How it works?

Import to slicer

Slice with your favorite settings, without brim/skirt

Leveling process:

• Start printing, lower the feed rate maybe
• During the print observe first layer height, width, adhesion and adjust bed height corners accordingly. Raise the corner if stringing, lower the corner if scraping, smearing or nothing extrudes until even adhesion occurs. Watch your fingers.
• Repeat the process every 50-100 prints or whenever you need to do it again (e.g. after component change, transport...)

Tip for clear glass heated beds, clean with dishsoap, dry, install. No masking tape, glue, hairspray, bat wing soup, bird milk, toad slime, snail slime, eel slime, dry llama spit,.... and other malarkey.

Feel free to add other popular adhesives used in first layer printing in the comments

The printed part could be used to frame some ugly photos or as a square just in case you freshly run out of squares
