      Hi,

      When you have a delta with bed leveling screws when should they be adjusted (if at all) and how?

      I would think prior to running auto-cal it would be good to have the bed as level as possible but not sure how to do that. I don't want to do something that will mess up the auto-cal procedure.

      Thanks.

      Frederick

        You could run 6-factor auto calibration, then adjust the screws to remove any tilt that it wants to correct for. Alternatively, use a carpenters square to adjust the bed to be perpendicular to the towers.
