Yes it’s taken me hours to try and level my bed this is the best video I have come across I am going to purchase some springs and go though and level agin as I need to adjust every few prints it’s the biggest pain.

Pro tip! The wrench included is actually 1.9mm so you can also use that to get your hot end about 2.0mm away from the bed as he states in the video!! Thanks for this video BTW!! It’s awesome

Also recommend to visit local hardware store or amazon and get "nice" caliper around 20-30e. I used this for verifying paper or spacers that I used leveling. It's pretty help full also when checking if mechanic prints are ok.

I got the springs for my ender 3 V2. I saw them in your last video. Wow what a difference. The new springs are way better quality.

Just want to say thanks! Got my Ender 3 V2 set up using your videos and got the bed leveled! I appreciate you making this content 👍 you’ve got my line and sub 🙂

Watched your guides when I first for my ender3 v2 4 months ago. did it. perfect prints ever since. Got the new springs for christmas. haven't been able to get it dialed in since. Then I remembered this video. Rewatched it. redownloaded the model, and started adjustments. Perfect settings after about 20 minutes. Thanks for this, and the Cura Profiles! now I'm back off to print minis' (I have a Lord of the Print Dragon in my sights, but want to do some smaller stuff first to be sure I've got the settings dialed in after the rebuild)

Just one more tip. Be careful not to lean on the x-axis when adjusting the rear screws.

I used to think this was important too, but if you're getting this issue I guarantee what's more likely is your x gantry is loose and needs adjusting. My x gantry has no play it now. Also the y gantry needed tightening for me to stop bed wobbling when I cleaned it

After being frustrated for two weeks this let me dial in my leveling in an afternoon. Thanks.

Thank you for your great tutorial. I took a different approach to the leveling part because I run out of luck twice with the glass bed and I prefer to print onto a spring steel bed with PEI coating. I have enabled in marlin firmware the manual mesh leveling and made a matrix 5x5. Then through the printer, after leveling the corners, I'm running through all the mesh points, calibrating the printer. At the end I save it in the EEPROM and add at my slicing software the M420 e1 command after the G28 command

Just re-leveled my bed using this. I got a great result! now to Re-slice a bunch of things, since it seems I'm having problems with that. Fortunately, the bed is no longer one. Thank you!

Thank you for the great video very easy to follow. Ordering the springs as we speak! Got my ender V2 running a few days ago. Glad I found your channel man keep up the good work

thank you king, i'm very intimidated by leveling (and by my 3d printer in general) but your videos are such a help!

Thank you so much for making this video!! I've set up my Ender 3 v2 using your other video and this one has helped me immensely. Just made my first ever 3D print thanks to you sir! Much appreciated.

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. Helped me set up my Ender 3 v2 with ease. Test print came out nicely first time round.

That was useful. Thanks. I took it a step further and am adjusting the opposite corners in pairs instead of going around the bed in a circular pattern. It seems to work faster for me with less frustration.

I had been struggling for the last hour or so trying to level my ender 3, this did just the trick. THANK YOU!!

Excellent tutorial. I adjusted the z-offset dynamically while it printed each square, setting z-offset to +0.1, 0, and -0.1. This gave me three profiles for each square for each corner to evaluate. For my printer with my leveling touch, -0.1 gave perfect results.

I learned this through trial and error. Those yellow spring are the best cheap upgrade you can buy. I had a bl touch on my V2 which I removed because I don't need it anymore. I only need to re-level if I've changed the nozzle or did other work on the printer.

Will be getting some better springs soon. Thank you for uploading this. I had to fix my z axis first with a different video it was way bad. Then I followed your video and I'm printing a benchie right now. It looks great so far and I couldn't be happier 😊.

Thanks for this video! I got the bed leveled in 2 tries. The left front side just needed a little bit up movement and it was perfect.

@bitflip Honestly I got em and never installed because I've been getting good print now. The belt on the Y axis wasn't tight enough for me and its like a whole new machine now. Also make sure your using the right temp. I had mine too low. I do plan on installing the springs soon because I have to relevel after like 3 big prints and that can be annoying

Thank you! That print file was so helpful. They was the most tedious thing ever.

Just wanted to say that this video set me on the right path and I got my bed leveled fairly decently after watching this.

Finally someone who identifies the 2 problems I had. 1. Rubbish springs 2. Starting with bed low enough to allow enough adjustment on bed screws to get it level I have watched about 10 Enders 3 bed levelling videos by some of the "best" people and they just skip these things Well done👍

This ist one great and very helpful tutorial! The hint with the springs ist the key to easy and precise leveling of the bed. Thanks a Lot!

The better springs are a great idea if anyone isn't convinced. They come in kits of other upgrade parts a lot of the time too. Also I had an issue where my nozzle would scrape when moving between corners even when all corners were perfectly leveled. I found that my z axis limit switch was too low and I had to have my tensioners cranked down so hard it was warping the print bed. At the same time that I put the new springs on I raised that switch and it no longer happens. Excellent video just wish I'd seen it sooner.

Thanks so much for this tutorial and the assembly video! I followed them both and am printing quite quickly!

Thanks very much for this. I am completely new to all this and after watching your video on the Ender3 V2 as well I am now printing my first cookie cutter.

Spent most of the week trying to get my 3d printer to print out mini's and couldn't figure it out, my filament would NOT adhere to the plate like it should. Followed this video and replaced the springs as was suggested at the beginning and after several paper tests and making sure my bed was clean, my prints came out beautifully! Highly suggest swapping out the springs and take the time to do the paper test several times until the squares come out as they should from the bed leveling print, it's WELL worth it. Thank you!

Thank you for your VERY helpful videos! I got my 3V2 working tonight. Very straightforward with your instructions. Best wishes! Gord

Great video, thanks for the good info. Just got one of these and your videos have helped tremendously with setup and calibration. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all your videos new to 3d printing and have been trying very hard to even get close to how amazing your minatures look. Using cr10 v3 and not having the luck you do. Ill keep watching and hope I get there one day.

This is a good step by step. I walked through it and had to file plastic on my limit switch to get in the correct position now that I’m using the new yellow springs. They don’t compress the same as stock. Also I find my right two springs when even make the bed to sit higher than the left. Think my entire bed is off. Ended up setting switch when nozzle is on left front corner and leveled from there.

Because of the fulcrum/pivoting you describe at 5:33, to avoid adding confusing slack on one of the points, one should adjust two supports at once--either opposite corners in opposite directions to change the slant of the bed as needed, or adjacent corners in the same directions to raise or lower the edge between the points.

Thank you for this video. Took me a couple of tries but finally got all of the squares to print fine. The hardest part was using the paper test as I wasn't sure how snug the paper had to be with the nozzle. Using a series of trial and error, I was paying attention to one corner and had to get the 'snug' to be precisely the same on all four corners and that's how I got it to level. I enjoyed this video and the test file seems to be doing the trick when leveling the bed. Also to note that paying attention to the skirt on the outside and how thin/thick the line is. If the skirt produces a reasonable thin line, then that's a good indicator of whether the bed is level as well.

An other Tip is to remove the Bed and then remove your prints from it, because as you try to unstuck them you can ruin your bed leveling.

I want to thank you very much for this video. It help me finally get my bed level. I have had serious problems getting prints to stick. I purchased Creality 3D Pro Glass off Amazon vendor had a certificate of authenticity but nothing would stick except if it had a raft. I found it very interesting instruction say to clean the glass with Isopropyl Alcohol but with special finish that ruin it I know because I was plastic fabricator & laminator in the Aerospace Industry and Creality states on their website to heat the plate to 70 degrees then use warm water to clean. Also the glass being sold on Amazon states it's 4mm but one on Creality is 3mm. I order one on 2/24/21 will take 7 days to get here. In meantime I went to Econo Glass got plate glass 9 1/4 by 9 1/4 1/8 thick whis is 3 mm and it only cost $7 using UHU stic and your instruction and bed leveling 190x190 gcode only the left corner need to be adjusted after 10 print got it perfect and now printing buck converter case with just a skirt. I am going to stick with glass plate

Great video, thanks.

I hope this helps. Getting that bed level with the springs included has been very difficult. I have gotten a couple of good prints but I am releveling each time and it doesn't hold it well at all. I figured from all my reading springs would be the first upgrade I just didn't realize it would be day 2 of owning the printer.

thank you very much, the best so far

Rubber vacuum line works as a great replacement for the springs. And are cheap as well.

I was really worried about bed leveling when first getting into 3D printing but it's actually not as hard as I had imagined it. I generally get eye level with the printer and as it's printing the test prints, i can adjust it lightly as it's printing to correct for spots where it was off. I have the ender 5 and most of the time I can trust it to just print new prints with no problems once it's leveled and the only time I really need to adjust it again is when I need to move it , even just to clean, if I move it i have to re-level but if I don't touch it it stays level for a really long time on its own. great video but it should be titled how to level your 3D printer bed because this really goes for most of them! The only thing I really hate about the ender5 is that the bar is right there where it starts printing so it's hard to see if the nozzle is close enough to the bed but other than that it's been a great printer as my first! I really like the way the new ones look.
