    my first recommendation: get the silent mainboard a bit pricy for an upgrade but soo worth it. my motor are now dead silent. next thing up is gonna be the fans for me ;)

    so far i myself am pretty happy with the results and all. only negative i had so far is that my filament starts breaking off, the closer i come to the end of the spool. maybe cheap filament maybe i store it wrong idk but ha nothing to do with the printer

    yes it is levent

    but worth it when you get it working ?

    so what does it do exactly? measure out distances and calculate that into the movements so it prints correctly on an uneven bed?

    something like that It uses a a servo and a endstop switch

    cluelessgenius

    ok but it doesnt actually level the bed right? it just corrects for the uneveness right?
