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.
