Easy Perfect Bed Leveling on the Ender 2

Here are my tips for best practice in leveling your bed. It is of utmost importance that your bed is level and the correct gap is set correctly for every print. Once you learn the process its easy and fast and may not have to do more than simple on-the-fly adjustments while your printer is laying down the skirt for most of the time thereafter. You will need a function of the printer which runs around the bed and stops the nozzle right above each leveling knob for a few seconds before moving on, or a gcode which does the same that you can use via print function. You will need to have your home set correctly. To do this compress all springs on your bed to half way (do this evenly and slowly one at a time just a bit at a time as to not bend your bed). Once your springs are evenly compressed half way home your machine through the control panel. Your nozzle should just touch the print surface. If it doesn't, adjust your Z limit switch up or down until it homes at correct position. Having your springs well compressed will give you more stable push back from the springs and it will hold your level much longer. Now heat your machine to desired print temp (both nozzle and heated bed). Once heated, run your leveling program or gcode. Do not push your hot end and bed around, this may create movement on the Z and give you false readings. Put a strip of copy paper ( I like the heavier type - about 28 lb. stock) under the nozzle as it stops at each point and if there is no drag, move your leveling knob at that point until it creates drag. Try to slide the paper back and forth with a grip about 3" or 60 mm from the nozzle, you should feel drag on the paper. If you cannot pull or push the paper under the nozzle back off your bed until it passes. Try not to turn any single knob more than one turn or it may bend your bed, you may have to adjust each of the knobs together for first round. Allow it to move to the next corner. Repeat the above for all corners. Repeat the process again, you will notice that when you move one corner it can have an affect on the others. Repeat the process until you go all the way around all bed leveling knobs without adjusting at all. Thats it your bed is level. Now to set the gap. Program your slicer to print about 2-3 skirt lines as far away from the part so it goes close to the edge of your printer. Set your part to print, and while its laying down your skirt lines, inspect visually and adjust your knobs closest to print areas as necessary. If the bead laid onto the bed is too round and high, close the gap slightly. If it is flat topped and a bit wider than the nozzle width it is perfect. If it is too transparent and doesn't flow out, your gap is too tight, you need to increase the distance slightly.
