Finally got my first video up. Let me know what you guys think...

Lots of credit goes to CHEP for introducing me to the solution presented in this video! Please check out his video if you haven't already as he shows the actual levelling process in more detail:    • Creality Ender 3- Easy Way To Level Y...  . My hope is, however, that my video explained a bit more about what the underlying problem is with the traditional way of bed levelling and why this solution works so well. I also made a few changes to his gcode according to what I've found to work best. Please also remember the tips I gave in this video, as they are crucial to make this method work!

Even though I rewrote the script like 7 times to make everything as clear as possible, conveying these ideas was still quite tricky for me, so let me know if I can explain anything further.

Also, I'm open to any critique! Let me know if the scripted voice-over didn't work for you, if my accent is weird or if you disagree with something I said :)

Some behind the scenes/rant about making this video – it was shot on a Huawei Mate 10 and the voice-over was recorded on the same device (although I put bed covers and any other material I could find against all the walls in the room to minimise reverb – wish you guys could see this!). Setting up the blue led strip behind the wood panel was a pain but I think well worth it. Getting all the light to not overexpose some part of my skin or underexpose some part of the printer or reflect off some part of the scene was quite a challenge – especially when just working with normal house lights. The editing took ages but I think what took the most time was writing the script. I don’t have a knack for explaining things, as I tend to overthink most of the stuff and focus too much on some small detail – so I rewrote it so many times to get to the one in the video. And with English not actually being my native language (Afrikaans is – yes, the one you always see at the top in google translate), I had to read it like another 100 times to get it flawless!
