I follow some Youtube channels, one being Maker's Muse. On the 12th (what day's today?) he put up 3D Printing Myths I used to believe....

I have my own procedure for bed leveling. Conventional wisdom is to proceed around the four corners and use a piece of paper as a feeler gauge.

What I do is:

Drop the bed
center the printhead on the bed and raise all four corners equally
proceed to the left edge center and adjust the left corners
proceed to the right edge center and adjust the right corners
proceed to center and confirm
proceed around the four corners to confirm

The only conclusion I have drawn is it is satisfactory.

And where Maker's Muse suggests a metal Feeler gauge, I have backlight from a window and I just eyeball the gap.
