Ender 3: DIY inexpensive Bed Level Sensor (Part 2)

This is the second part for a 3D Printer Bed Leveling Sensor DIY project. The video of the first part an be found here: • DIY Inexpensive Bed Le...
In this part I will guide you through the set-up of Marlin 1.1.9 to work with a Ender-3 with a fixed bed level probe, how to modify the Slicer settings to perform the bed mesh generation and finally how to configure the printer from the on-board display.
As usual, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK I’m not going to accept any responsibility if you do something wrong and you damage your printer or hurt yourself.
Flashing the firmware could “brick” your printer and render it useless if power or connection is lost during the process. Make sure you perform the operations under backup power and with the USB cable firmly in place.
