Ugh; even on a 3D printing forum it seems that people are making clickbait posts - especially if there's not even anything to click on (yet) and no useful information whatsoever...

If you read carefully, you'll notice that recording a video and showing it to people takes time. I'll have time for this next week.

Perhaps do not do a video then, but write? I will not watch a video, they are mostly 80% talking about how great the people are, and contain maybe 3 useful sentences after 10 minutes of bullshit. If you want to spread information, I would love to read it if you can sum the core information up in a few concise sentences. If you can not write it, its not worth watching your videos. What is your "magic"? Why is your calibration method "special"? With what settings modifications you achieve it / do your feedback loop?

I'm curious to the used procedure, but I agree that it sounds like clickbait.

 

Note that the build plate is never flat but has small curvatures. With manual levelling you only calibrate three points, i.e. this can only calibrate a flat plane. For the relative small build plate of the UM3 this often suffices, but when you have a poor quality build plate, then it's not enough. On my UM3, there is one corner where objects often detach, unless I use automated levelling.

 

Automated bed levelling extends upon the manual levelling by creating an internal map of many probe measurements in a 5x5cm grid. The Z-distance is then compensated to follow the build plate as good as possible, including all curvatures.

 

In my experience, manual probing is something you do once per year.

Automated levelling is often not required, only when printing objects which cover a lot of build plate area. Or, when you work in an area where temperatures fluctuate. For example, when printing multiple objects after each other, the printer will be warmer for the next job then it was on the first job and this affects the build plate calibration.

 

Update: I mixed up the Active Leveling in the UM3 and S-line. The UM3 is limited in that it only does a 3-point leveling, similar accuracy as the 3-point manual leveling. The S-line printers do a grid-based leveling. For the procedure to enable the grid-based leveling in the UM3, see this post.
