Octoprint Bed Level Visualizer Install & Usage Guide
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2021
- Getting your build plate level is critical if you want to have an excellent first layer or good prints in general. Using auto bed leveling options like the BLTouch can help significantly, but it can only do so much, and it puts extra load on the stepper motors and drivers. In this video, I show you how to install and use the Octoprint bed level visualizer plugin to help make sure your build plate is level and point out any warps that it may have.
If you have any questions on the content covered in this video, feel free to leave a comment below with them. I try to reply to all comments within 48 hours.

I'll have to revisit this when I pick one up. Love the idea of visualizing the bed levelness. Appreciate the work!
Hi. Thanks for the feedback, its really a neat plugin.
Great Overview to understand the plugin. It helped me deciding to install the plugin. Before watching I thought my bltouch is enough but you explained the release of stepper's stress very well
Hi. Thanks for the feedback :).
Thanks for the great install and break down video. I thought my bed was level and I was very surprised to see a solid green graph come back.
You're Welcome
Rob you read my mind. Great tutorial as always!
Hi. Thanks for the feedback and I try lol, j/k.
Again, incredibly helpful! I had a few tabs open, but as soon as I saw Rob's face, I KNEW this was the only video I needed to watch. In fact, I paused the vid to type this comment. Thank you and stay awesome!
Glad it helped and thanks for the feedback :).
Thanks for the tutorial video, really helped me set this plugin up.
You're welcome!
thank you for making a written version of this!
You're Welcome
Man this video is almost two years old, but really helped me out getting this setup.
Glad it helped :)
Thanks for the video on my plugin, glad you find it useful. BTW, that install is only required for 64bit and manual octoprint installs. The octopi 0.18 image already has it bundled.
Hi. Thanks for the plugin and info on it. I wasnt sure if it was needed on Octopi so i covered it just in case.
This is a great resource as the wiki isn't direct enough that you need to place the "gcode example" in the window under the Collection tab. They have also updated the installation so that you no longer need to ssh and install the dependencies. Thanks again!
Hi. thanks for the feedback.
Very helpful thanks! Subscribed in a flash!
Thanks for the sub!
Tks for you tutorial video Rob
You're Welcome
Thanks lad, helped me get this sorted.
You're Welcome
exce[tional tutorial. Just got my pi and was able to use your video to get up and running. Thanks again!
Hi Thanks for the feedback :)
Thanks for the awesome video!
You bet!
Appreciate the vid! Actually shows how to do it instead of their own documentation that doesn't :D
Thanks for the feedback.
Very good tutorial, thanks a lot
You're welcome!
Got a list of Ender 5 / CR Touch issues. Every time I google one and tick it off as done, it's from watching one of your videos. Superb content tbh
Glad to help. What issues are you having currently?
@@3DPrintscape Have actually given up tbh, at least for a while. I've got an Ender 5 that wouldn't print no matter how much bed levelling I did, so thought I'd get a CR Touch. Couldn't upgrade the firmware which is when I realised I had a 1.1.4 board. So I bought a 4.2.7 board and couldn't get firmware on that. Ended up compiling Marlin and got that working. Anyway, bed visualiser says that bed is flat as a pancake, pretty sure I got my nozzle close enough, but nothing will stick :(
Have you tried different filament (could be a bad roll) and have you tried anything like bed weld? @@betty-rq7qv
OMG thank you very much for what a very useful video, thank you very much for your time and effort.
FYI I have octoprint and just installed the bed level visualiser plugin without Putty so maybe they updated the BLV so we don't have to anymore. Now to find a way to get Pronterface working via octoprint without USB to the PC. Shooting for the Moon as always. Thanks Big Guy.
You're Welcome
Amazing video!
Thanks
Was a great help, first and hardest thing for me was figuring out what part of the bed was what.... FYI front left is front left the added known issue is no more... run and make some twist
took me about 10 times to get my orientation.... hopefully with this all is good. This was done after paper test and that still showed a bit off... hope my time was well spent. Hardest part is remembering for me on Ender 5 pro that loosening os making the nozzle closer vis versa
Hi. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, thanks!
You're welcome!
Thanks, very useful!
You're welcome!
Thank you for your help
You're Welcome
Great video, thank you. Like you, I thought my printer was a lot better, but it turns out it was pretty much identical to yours! Anyway, fixing now thanks!
You're welcome!
This was a great video, thank you. I know it's out of date, some of the items aren't needed anymore (Putty) i don't think.
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. Your right, that dependency is no longer needed.
HI, thanks for the video. I'm just starting with 3d printing and it helped me install and run the visualizer. One thing though that has me confused, after the mesh was created, the mesh was displayed both on the ender's screen and in octoprint. However, the two are not exactly the same. What I mean is the numbers are the same but their positions are flipped top and bottom. I mean the front right side square in the ender is displayed as back right side in octoprint and so on. Which is the correct one?
Hi. The numbers on the printer would be right, the plugin is just a visualizer.
Nice video! Keep it up! If it's good with you I might try to make a video about following your guide in the future! (only if you let me!)
Hi. Thanks for the feedback and what did you have in mind for the video? Im open to it, just want to make sure i know what your trying to do :).
Hey Rob if you're after an idea for a video please do one on the plugin "easy servo". I use one to operate a cam I use between 2 printers
Hi, thanks for the idea. I will dig in a bit more on it.
@@3DPrintscape thanks Rob. I Love your work mate 👌💯
I know this is an old entry but it has been a big help, thank you!!! Question: my LK5 Pro runs the bed leveling with 25 points. is there a way to make that less points?
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. The number of probe points is defined in the firmware before build. I dont think it can be changed afterwards.
Is the visualization dependent on the overall height or just the levelness of the bed? As in when a bed is perfectly level, but a bit higher than it should be, does it show that as too high or just as level?
Hi. It just shows how level the build plate is.
Is the mesh that is created/saved used by the BLtouch when the printer is printing to adjust the Z position? Is there a setting somewhere or some Gcode required to be inserted to make use of the saved mesh? The Gcode I added for the 9 point mesh runs everytime at the start of every print. I need a video on how the BLtouch works and how to use it. All the videos only show how to install it. Great video by the way.
Hi. The mesh does get saved to eeprom, or the sd card, and just hitting save setting like you would do when setting the z offset will save them. That said, i still run the g29 command at the start of each print to get a new reading.
@@3DPrintscape Does the firmware automatically use the stored mesh data to adjust the Z offset when printing or is there a required Gcode to enable it?
@@danielnadeau2061 It shoud automatically use the one that is stored.
thank you
You're Welcome
As a fairly new user to 3d printing, Does the bed level visualizer in octoprint tell the printer the offsets for the bed, or is it strictly a visualizer? Or do I have to use the bed level option in the printers menu ?
Hi. Its strictly a visualizer to help get the bed as level as possible. If you have a bltouch, that will actually tell the printer the offsets to make adjustments on the fly.
Hey Rob, thanks for the help. Any idea on why mine just shows the black line in the background 3d grid? Im on my second mesh leveling and it seems to not visualize anything?
Hi. Is there a positive and negative number in the grid?
hey im wondering if i can use a bed level vizualizer with the CR TOUCH... i see BL TOUCH options everywhere but not CR...
Hi. This would work just fine for the cr touch as well. They are pretty much the same to the firmware.
I am having an issue where it prints vertical like sides but fails to go lower to print a bottom and extrudes in the air. I have a Ender 3 +OctoPrint+Direct Drive + BLtouch Autoleveler. I was looking to see if the octoprint bed leveler can help with this. Also what is the discord channel you mentioned? The home page for the plugin also says you no longer have to add that package from command line.
Hi. It sounds like the z-offset may be wrong, but i would want to understand the issue more. The link to the discord server is in the video description. Also, ya it sounds like the package is no longer required.
With this plugin, does it save the new mesh to EEPROM automatically so I don't have to do it via the LCD or is it simply just a visualizer with no extra features? Cheers
Hi. Honestly, im not sure about that one. The main purpose is to visualize high/low parts. You could send the M500 command from octoprint to save it.
@@3DPrintscape That's a great idea. It never crossed my mind that I should just send the M500 command after leveling. Thanks!
I have a Ender 5 Plus with original firmware. What kind of GCode commands I need to put in the Bed Visualizer settings? Thanks
Hi. It should be the generic bilinear gcode that is referenced in the video. If that doesnt work, let me know and i will try to dig into it more.
@@3DPrintscape Thanks lot for the reply. Sorry I was late but I had issues with my PI and I needed to install OctoPi again. I tried the bilinear gcode as you suggested and worked :)
Today I tried to download the plugin, now just download the plugin and it works, without putty. Im using Pi 4B
Hi. Yes the OS add on that needed before is no longer needed. That change came after this video was recorded, sorry.
The null (zero, 0) pont is the home position in the visualizer? So, the -1 is the home -1, and the +1 is the home +1?
Hi. Im not sure im following the question but the 0 mark should be the center and if your seeing -1 or 1 that means the bed is not level there.
Hello, another great video, im running into an issue tho, i have Octoprint installed in my WINDOWS 10 , not in PI... when i try to go to the LOCALHOST url from PUTTY, it wont connect... i dont know what im doing wrong, any tips? thanks!
Hi. I havent actually set this up on windows but if your not able to connect going to local host, try using the ip address. Some apps will only work on the ip, even though local host resolves to the same IP. Also, i would look to make sure the service is running and try to connect with https.
quick question, my bed needs some adjusting based on the visualization I got back but its printing fine. That said I want to get it as flat as possible so I will make the changed until its flat. however does that mean I will have to change my z offset settings again? Its been ages since I did that and honestly I don't even remember how I did it.
Hi. Assuming your not making huge changes, the z offset shouldn't really change.
For the Adjustment Angles, which size has the Ender 3 screws?
Hi. I typically get them off Amazon. Most are m3, some are m5.
which gcode do we use for your firmware for the ender 3 with skr mini 2.0?
Hi. I use the g-code i show in the video. The first printer i was showing has an skr mini v2 in it.
Nice video but I didn't find the answer to my problem, I have a brand new printer, how do I know if Bilinear or Unified Bed Leveling is set?
Hi. It most likely going to be Bilinear, thats default in most builds.
Hi I recently installed this watching your video but I’m having an issue. I go to level the bed it homes everything is heated up but on the screen it says probing but it isn’t doing anything it won’t probe the bed. I don’t know what’s wrong I put the guide for bi linear like you showed. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi. Is it doing the probe in the middle as part of the auto home? If not, its probably an issue with the firmware. If it is, try to send the g29 command to the printer to see if it runs the mesh.
did it match up your bed correctly? what i mean is LF, RF,RR,LR? i dont think mine did but my probe starts at RF
Hi. From what i can tell, the locations are correct for me.

rob lol i know have a major problem. leveled printer got it working but was not extruding filiment. shut printer off know i have a blue screen and will not boot up. kinda sucks bought it end of nov last year. was using marlin software and cr touch
Does the add-on applies autocorrection to the code? Or you have to specify it on Cura or other slicers?
Hi. This is just a visualizer for you. If you have firmware that supports mesh bed leveling, or are using a Bltouch or something similar, you can save the settings at printer console.
@@3DPrintscape Thanks for replying, I meant if you already have the mesh you have to call it somewhere in the code to use it; you do it on Cura or the firmware itself always uses it?
@@Screamer26 Gotcha, ya its in the firmware under bed leveling. If you don't have the bltouch, its define MESH_BED_LEVELING
hi, do you know how to set up the ender 3 on octoprint and where to have the origin etc if you have a crtouch installed? i just tried setting mine up and it started printing in the bottom left corner and didnt do a bed level at the start. i had previously set up the crtouch on cura following your video but was having issues connecting 2 printers and using cura for both - thanks :)
Hi. I think this video would be a good starting point. If you need more detail just let me know. th-cam.com/video/EBB7aWMDquo/w-d-xo.html
@@3DPrintscape thanks for that, I've seen that video, I'm actually running octoprint in my desktop browser and have both machines connected via USB (well actually it's a usb-ttl connection on an ender 3 Pro 4.2.2 board)
@@vagautohaus4492 Gotcha, im think im following. Do you have origin at center checked for the printer in Cura?
@@3DPrintscape I did yeah, good call!
@@vagautohaus4492 Ok, so unchecking that fixed the issue for you right?
Are those probings in real time or is your printer tooting some nose candy? That is fast. I mean I use 7x7 because I spent $50. 2x2 for example corrects for zero warpage
Hi. I had the video at 5x during the probing parts. I didn’t think anyone would want to watch it at normal speed. I’ve never gone beyond a 5x5 grid but I know some beds need it. And I normally don’t go under a 3x3 grid but a 2x2 would work in some cases.
I don't see "Bed Level Visualizer" in octopi's plugin managers "get more" section. I'm curious to know if the plugins would be the same between octopi and octoprint?
Hi. Im actually running Octopi on the device i used for this recording, so it should be there. What hardware are you running and is octopi fully updated?
@@3DPrintscape Ty for the reply. Yeah I am on a rpi 4 4gb pi. Octopi was up to date as of a few days ago, however it's currently printing a fairly long print so I'm unable to manage add/remove plugins (though I can search) or attempt to update octopi. As soon as it's done I will holler if I see it. I do have several bed leveling plugins that appear while searching but unfortunately none match what you are using. I also checked the plugin blacklist and did not see it there either.
@@3DPrintscape Very odd. After freeze framing your video, the site we're both going to is the exact same github project by the same developer but mine comes up "Bed Visualizer" (no level). Either way, its working for me now so thanks for the video and taking the time to reply.
@@Pghpete5 I'm glad you got it working but it showing up as a different name rally is odd.
Thanks for the video! Do you have a general variance that you deem acceptable? Just trying to figure out how far I should be driving myself crazy tuning my bed, haha.
Hi. It depends if you are using a bltouch or not. If not, I would try to be within .1mm.
Do u need the bl touch for this to work?
Hi. Ya you would need a Bltouch, or other abl kit, for this to work.
if you m500 after using this will it also apply the mesh to the machine for future prints?
Hi. If you run through the bed leveling process and save it, it should be used for future prints. I personally prefer to run the mesh at the start of each print just incase anything has changed.
@@3DPrintscape thanks man

How do you know which one is the front/back/right/left?
Hi. Its typically opposite on the visualizer but you could make a change to the bed and see what changes.
i tried to use this; but after pasting in the gcode.. i see in terminal tab that everything is heating up.. and than when it hits the temperature it needs, it just cools down... but no movement... running it on a Ender 5 Pro...
Hi. It sounds like the G29 command wasnt added. I would look to make sure thats there. That said, i didnt specifically try this on the Ender 5, though it should work just fine.
so I have octo installed on a PC.. how do I do the manual step? any ides from the community?
Hi. You may not need that plugin anymore, i was told it was added to the octoprint build. Have you tried it without doing that step?
@@3DPrintscape not yet, I shall try again, thank you for your advice.
It is funny, you are always right in line with whatever stage I am on with my printer. Currently I am having massive issues with the BL Touch. I figured out this plugin on my own last week and found out that the front and back of my bed and down so far that the printer will M112 Shutdown. While trying to fix the problem, I figured out the gap between my nozzle and BL touch end was too small, with that problem fixed now the BL touch will not even touch the bed with bed leveling! It fails first corner. I have been using Z axis offset wizard to set the z axis offset. I am out of ideas. I have spent weeks troubleshooting. Any ideas?
Hi. Thats funny. The bltouch probe needs to be lower than the nozzle with extended, if not it will not engage. The z-offset is meant to account for the difference.
@@3DPrintscape as far as I can tell it is when deployed. In the bltouch v3.1 install pdf it outlines a dimension (2.3-4.3) in the CAD drawing. My old gap was less than 2mm. Now it is in between the spec. When deployed the tip is lower than the nozzle by a good few mm.
@@eddyeisenberg5740 Is it actually hitting the bed on the first point? If not, try to clear the eeprom.
@@3DPrintscape it's not hitting the bed. I tried to reset EEPROM but it has no effect. Still fails first probe and causes an M112.
@@eddyeisenberg5740 Are you running a custom build of Marlin, if so check your x and y offsets.
Hi, do i need to install a BL touch to enable this?
Hi. I think there is a way to do it manually but i havent tried it.

@@3DPrintscape @Chris Riley I also tryed manually..but it doesn't work. Can I add a monitor and check said and password with OCTOPRINT ?
@@annoorkhan4219 The only time i have seen wifi not work is if the config was wrong or not uncommented. You could try to connect a network cable to the device to see if you can connect that way. That will tell you if the octoprint install is ok or not.
1st using this Octoprint and BLV I think mine is pretty lvl with min: -0.23739 with max: 0.059 (Var: 0.29638)
I actually enjoy manually lvlling the bed.
Hi. Ya that is pretty good. I dont mind manually leveling the bed on occasion but when its all the time it get annoying lol.
For some reason, as soon as the first point probes I get M112 shutdown. In the terminal all it say is error probing failed. I have the most up-to-date Marlin firmware on the SKR mini V2 and a CR touch. I've been able to probe before, but for some reason when I try to make a mesh it crashes the printer. Anyone have any ideas?
Hi. Make sure all your cabling/connectors are secure. If they are, it could be the firmware.
How do i change 3*3 grid to 5*5 grid.... i have octo pi setup.... please tell me how to change the grid size.

windows 10 has a built in openssh client now, which you should be able to use in cmd or powershell instead of using putty
Hi. Thanks for the tips. Im so used to using putty that i forget that windows added the openssh client.
My printer (ender 3S1) came with the CR touch and no matter how hard I try to get my bed level I always have a couple little high and low spots. Despite it being very much within the needed range my cr touch doesn’t seem to accommodate it either because when I print it’s messed up accordingly. I’m still having trouble getting it level with this plugin
Hi. What type of build plate do you have and can you use some sort of strait edge and see if you have any really high or low spots?
@@3DPrintscape I have a PEI plate on it currently. I have a glass bed coming tomorrow because I’ve been messing with it so long I’m throwing anything I can think of at it. I’m hoping the uniformity of the flat glass will help. I don’t have anything I can accurately use as a straight edge. I did have a metal ruler but I have no idea what my kids did with it. I’ve been looking for it for months cause I needed it for something else as well.
I’m trying to use the octoprint bed visualizer to help me figure out where my low spots are. It’s weird cause last night I was pretty dang close but there was definitely a dip towards the middle. I added masking tape to try to help bring it up but when I reran the bed visualizer my output looked like what I tried had the opposite effect. The outer edge seemed to get lower but the middle also seemed to get lower.
Is the bed visualizer supposed to take forever to run? When I run it it will make a probe and then wait like a minute before moving to the next one and probing. It seems unusually long between probes. I’m not sure I set up the best gcode when setting that up. I saw somewhere somebody had it set to make 25 probes for get a finer detail.
I’m now perusing Reddit trying to see if there’s a way to use a mesh level on the S1. I don’t fully grasp the concept yet but I’m grasping at straws at this point.
@@avgjoeshow4208 I think the glass bed should help. If it doesn't, it may be worth changing the grid size from 3 to 5 to get more points. It should only take about 60-90 seconds to hit all 9 spots. If its taking that long at one, something is off.
@@3DPrintscape something must be off with it then cause when I run it it’s unusually slow and often times repeats a second time after it finishes the first run. What do you mean change the grid size and how would one do that? Thank you for responding back to me!

Eh octopi? Why do I need that? I onstallled octo print on windows and it cannects to my printer over usb no need for rasp berriesright?
Hi. Correct, you just need Octoprint, not specifically octopi.
When I copy my Pis IP address into putty, it gives me an error and won’t connect. I can connect to octoprint from that address on my desktop so I know it’s correct.
Hi. Make sure putty is set to ssh and port 22. If it is, your computer may be blocking the traffic. That said, you no longer need to ssh to the pi to use this plugin. They removed that requirement a couple months back.
Why does my crtouch keep poking the bed with the nozzle before it clicks and stops
Hi. Im guessing it may need to be lowed a little, or its actually just using the z stop. If you do an autohome and have the crtouch probe touch your finger, does it stop?
not sure what happened- i didnt change the password- at least not that im aware... i tried to sign in through putty, i insert PI as the user and RASPBERRY as the pass but it says ACCESS DENIED... any ideas?
Hi. The password should all be lowercase.
It appears the plugin listed in the github is no longer needed since version 1.1.0.
Hi. Yes, it sounds like the additional plugin at the OS layer is no longer needed.

Hi. I will need to look into this more. They may have changed the plugin a bit.
Okay, so I bought a BLTouch like a month ago, and apparently I’ve been using it wrong the whole time, because I didn’t know, that it automatically corrects for the bed...
I spent a whole lot of hours adjusting it, so that it will be perfect, but apparently I didn’t have to do that. Good to know
Hi. Spending the time to level the bed properly was a good move. The more level the bed is, the less the stepper motors will have to work to compensate.
access denied every time I try to login with the correct password. not sure what is going on.
Hi. The if your using the supplied password, it should work just fine. The only way it wouldnt is if it was changed or if its being typed wrong. Its also worth mentioning that you may not need to install the package through ssh with the latest version of the octopi image.

Hi. Where are you in the video and what issue are you having?
@@3DPrintscape Firstly, I have ender3 v1.1.3 and deleted the software on the motherboard. I need to learn the embedded software version of my printer to level the bed. I broke the screen of my 3D printer :( . That's why I use a computer to control my printer with octoprint. However, I am having a connection problem, while my printer's motherboard was connecting to the octoprine before, it is not connecting now. What is the software I can use for my motherboard, how can I find it. It is also in the Octoprint. So I have a lot of problem hahahah.
Gotcha, the 1.1.3 board is an old 8 bit one and i havent seen it in a while. Most of the older Ender 3 had the 1.1.4 board. Can you verify the version? If it was connecting to octoprint before and isnt now my question would be did anything change? This would include cables, etc. If not, your board may be going bad. @@ferhatacar50
@@3DPrintscape my problem was not on the motherboard, but on my computer, I was able to connect to another computer.

if we can communicate by mail, it would be better to exchange information with a screenshot.
If you can connect with one computer and not your main one, then its probably a driver issue or something on the computer (assuming the USB cable was the same). You cant verify what board you have from the screen (even if yours wasnt broken). You need to remove the case around it and look at the version on the board. If it is a driver issue or something on your computer updating the firmware on the board could help. @@ferhatacar50
