Makerbot-ThingOMatic Build Platform Leveling Tool

I found it a chore as most have in regards to leveling the build platform. I even tried to use a level app and my smart phone. That didn't help. One day, I was watching a show about the Pyramids and wondered if this ancient tool called the "A Frame" could help. I doubted it would at first, but gave it a try.

When printing you'll need to scale up to fill the size of your build platform.

I used those little ball shot fishing weights, hot glue and some fishing line to make the pendulum. Put a little gold fingernail polish in the center recess and colored the fishing line black with a sharpie so I could see it better.

I put it horizontal on the platform parallel to the front edge and get it level (using the 2 front screws) then I put it vertical parallel to the left edge and get it level, by adjusting the screw to your left, etc...around the 4 edges always adjusting the screw that was not turned yet only.

It should be almost perfect at that point. Maybe a minor tweak on
