Klipper Bed Mesh Calibration

Bed mesh leveling compensates for physical warping in your print surface by measuring the Z-height at various points.

1. Preparation

Ensure your bed is at its normal printing temperature (e.g., 60C for PLA) for at least 10 minutes to allow for thermal expansion.

2. Configuration

Add the [bed_mesh] section to your printer.cfg. Define your mesh_min, mesh_max, and probe_count (5,5 is usually sufficient).

3. Run Calibration

Send BED_MESH_CALIBRATE via the terminal. The printer will probe the grid and generate a visual map.

4. Save Profile

Once finished, send SAVE_CONFIG to store the mesh. Use BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD=default in your start G-code to ensure it's active.
