Bed leveling doesn't have to be hard! Here's a quick and easy technique that will get you near perfect results. Works with any 3D printer!
Printing squares in each corner is much more reliable and you can get near perfect first layer after printing a batch or two. This is especially useful with manual levelling beds, but it also works great if you have a 3D printer with automatic bed levelling.
Octoprint CR-10 leveling plugin:

Never touch the glass print bed after cleaning. Body oils will reduce adhesion of the first layer.

If you have a glass bed, I strongly suggest to clean with dish soap before every big print and alcool between small prints and sometime with dish soap.

Completely transformed my printer: I’ve had my printer for several years and have never really used it to its capabilities- just playing it safe printing simple objects in the middle of the bed. This video allowed me for the first time to make sure my printer bed is indeed level. I can’t wait to get started on the more complex things I’ve put off printing in the past.

Thank you very much when people say “the nozzle should drag the paper” it’s a problem because drag is a generic term and everyone has a different idea what drag means like does drag mean that the nozzle is barley touching the paper or a lot etc thank you for actually showing it on camera

Thank you! Yeah, that's why I've always hated the paper method, it's just not accurate enough for anything but a rough estimate. Even doing it myself, it's hard to be consistent with every corner. Printing the squares eliminates any guess work.

Great Vidio great meathod. I used feeler guages to get accurate levels. (Didnt like the paper meothod for all the reasons you gave) but after trying your squares I found that I was over a full turn to high the megacubic s has a great base so they stuck but I am geting a crease through the centre square. I know from feeler guages that it is .05 to 0.07mm higher than the edges. Does that seem a lot? Any suggestions?

I know this has over 300 comments but I wanted to jump in and add my thanks for making this video. I've been leveling my bed this way since I got my printer after I stumbled upon calibration squares on thingiverse and it has saved me hours of frustration. All new entrants to 3D printing should watch this video and learn this process for bed leveling. This is even better than automatic leveling because you are adjusting the actual finished product. I will often watch my printer during the first layer of prints and make minute adjustments to get that first layer perfect and my print quality has been consistently awesome using this method.

I like the printed squares, but they look very big. I recommend smaller squares, and then measure the thickness of each one with digital calipers. Compare with the first layer height. The threads on many adjustment screws are 0.5 mm pitch. So 1/5 of a turn moves the bed 0.1 mm. Very good to know, place five marks on each adjustment wheel. Turn 1/5 of a turn for error of 0.1 mm. Most printer firmware assumes the paper has zero thickness, yet it is 0.1 mm thick. So 1/5 turn after adjusting with paper will get you to zero. Thank you for making and sharing the excellent video. Very high quality.

I don't know how long you've had your printer, but the springs on new printers need some time to settle. Don't be surprised if you'll have to re-level it again in a few days. After a couple of weeks, the bed will become much more stable and you might have to level it only every few months.

Thank you, happy to hear that. When I first got my CR-10, I was certain I'll be upgrading to auto-leveling soon. Surprisingly though, the manually leveled bed has been very reliable. I've now been printing for months without having to adjust the bed at all. I've actually had a lot more issues with prusa's leveling probe, because it was affected by heat and would give off different readings.

Always do the space check directly above the leveling screws because that is the pivot point. Then do the spacing above the other three screws. Your bed will perfect as it can be without having to making the adjustments several times.

Just got my first printer today, was not getting good results with the "paper" method. Downloaded this, printed and could instantly see the problem. Fixed and printing great. Thank you for this, this is so much easier to see exactly what is happening vs guessing "is there enough drag on this paper".

@@HobbyHoarder You were the only one that explained the needed resistance from the paper & nozzle clearly. Most of the guides I've watched, they always kept on just saying "slight resistance" without showing how "slight" should it be.

Greetings to Mexico! I'm very happy to hear my video helped you out, thank you for letting me know. I hope you've seen it already, but a while ago, someone was kind enough to provide Spanish subtitles for this video. I hope that will make it easier to understand, I know I don't have the best English accent :)

Hi, Great video. I am new to 3D printing and like you said there are a lot of ways to bed leveling. I still have not gotten a successful print, if it prints at all. I will try the way you just showed. Thank you again for a great video.

Yeah, I don't understand why the paper method gained so much traction, it's almost useless until you know how the first layer should look like (and then you don't need the paper any more). I'm very happy to hear it helped you out, thank you!
