Small tool to help fine-tuning bed level and axis position.

Be very careful when positioning the axis on top of the tool, use the minimal amount of jog movement when controlling the z-axis and manual positioning by hand (if allowed) to move print bed and extruder in the y-axis and z-axis to avoid collision and damage.

First use the tool to ensure the x-axis is on a parallel plane above the y-axis. Move the x-axis close to the tool. Turn the threaded rods by hand until to tool touches the x-axis on both y-axis the same way.

Next the build plate can be leveled in the same manner by adjusting the screws on the print bed. Slide the tool along the x-axis (as seen in the pictures) for different y positions of the bed to ensure the bed is parallel to the x-axis.

You can use the plane surface or the cutout of the tool for calibration as seen in the pictures. If there is an endstop near one y-axis, preventing the tool to fit with the cutout, use the plane section of the tool for the
