🧰 Requirements

1× Gauge-Master (designed for the Bambu Lab H2D, compatible with the print head rail system)
1× Dial indicator (ideally with an 8 mm shaft diameter)
1× 2.0 mm hex key
1× M4 screw (optional)
1× Screwdriver (optional, for securing the M4 screw)

🔗 Please consult the Bambu Lab Wiki article beforehand to familiarize yourself with the manual bed leveling process.

⚠️ IMPORTANT:
The manual dial indicator method using the “Gauge-Master” is incompatible with the G-code guide in the Bambu Lab Wiki!
Do not use the Wiki's G-code file with this model!

The Wiki article serves solely as an introduction to fundamental bed leveling principles.

📝 Step-by-Step Guide

Manual Bed Leveling with Gauge-Master & Dial Indicator

Remove the build plate
Loosen the seven bed adjustment screws (do not fully remove – see Wiki)
Power on the printer
Perform a homing cycle to ensure proper axis referencing
Lower the bed using the touchscreen to provide sufficient clearance for Gauge-Master installation
Remove the print head cover
Install the dial indicator:
- Insert the dial gauge into the “Gauge-Master”
- Slide the “Gauge-Master” onto the print head rails
Gently raise the bed until the dial gauge tip lightly contacts the surface
Zero the dial gauge indicator
Restart the printer to deactivate the motors
⚠️ From this point, avoid all bed or toolhead movements via the display, app, or PC!

🔧 Manual Leveling Commences

Manually move the print head to each of the bed's four corners
At each position, record the dial indicator reading
Adjust the corresponding bed screws until all readings are consistent
Finally: Securely tighten all seven bed screws evenly to maintain the adjustments

📤 Concluding Steps

Lower the bed
Remove the Gauge-Master and dial indicator
Reinstall the print head cover
Initiate the complete calibration process (select all checkboxes) from the main menu under Calibration

Voraussetzungen

1× Gauge-Master (entwickelt für den Bambu Lab H2D, passend für die Halteschienen des Druckkopfes)
1× Messuhr (ideal mit 8 mm Schaftdurchmesser)
1x Inbusschlüssel (H2.0)
1× M4-Schraube (optional)
1× Schraubendreher (optional, zum Festziehen der M4-Konterschraube)

🔗 Lesen Sie bitte vorab den Artikel im Bambu Lab Wiki, um sich mit dem manuellen Bett-Tramming vertraut zu machen.

⚠️ WICHTIG:
Die manuelle Messuhr-Methode mit dem „Gauge-Master“ funktioniert nicht mit dem im Bambu Lab Wiki hinterlegten G-Code-Guide! Verwenden Sie keinesfalls die dort bereitgestellte G-Code-Datei in Kombination mit diesem Modell!

Der Wiki-Artikel dient lediglich als Einführung in das Grundprinzip der Bett-Nivellierung.

📝 Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung

Manuelles Leveln mit Gauge-Master & Messuhr

Druckplatte entfernen
7x Druckbettschrauben lösen (nicht komplett herausdrehen – siehe Wiki)
Drucker einschalten
Homing durchführen, um sicherzustellen, dass alle Achsen korrekt referenziert sind
Druckbett absenken über das Touchdisplay, um Platz für den Einbau zu schaffen
Abdeckung des Druckkopfs entfernen
Messuhr einbauen
- Messuhr in den Gauge-Master einsetzen
- Gauge-Master in die Schienen des Druckkopfes führen
Druckbett vorsichtig anheben, bis die Spitze der Messuhr berührt wird
Messuhr auf Null stellen
Drucker neu starten, um die Motoren zu deaktivieren
⚠️ Ab jetzt keine Bewegungen über Menü/App/PC!

🔧 Manuelle Nivellierung

Druckkopf manuell zu allen vier Ecken des Betts führen
An jeder Position den Messuhrwert ablesen
Stellschrauben entsprechend justieren, bis die Werte gleichmäßig sind
Zum Schluss: Alle 7 Schrauben am Druckbett gleichmäßig und vorsichtig anziehen, um die Position zu fixieren

📤 Nachbereitung

Druckbett erneut absenken
Gauge-Master und Messuhr entfernen
Abdeckung wieder montieren
Starte nun den vollständigen Kalibrierungsprozess (alle Haken setzen) im Hauptmenü unter Kalibrierung

⚠️ Wichtige Hinweise

Nur manuelle Bewegung nach dem Neustart und während der Nivellierung / Justierung
(Keine Steuerung über Display, App oder PC → Gefahr von ruckartigen Bewegungen und Messfehlern)
Langsame, sanfte Bewegungen für präzise Ergebnisse
Kompatibilität: Nur für Bambu Lab H2D und Messuhren mit 8 mm Schaft
Sicherung: Optional kann vorne eine M4-Schraube eingesetzt werden, um die Messuhr in der Halterung zu fixieren

📌 Zusätzliche Tipps

Regelmäßige Überprüfung:
Nach Transport oder Wartung kann eine manuelle Kalibrierung nötig sein, auch bei ab Werk kalibrierten Geräten

Absolutely amazing. This helped me achieve perfect first layers using 100C bed with abs. I was initially having issues with the nozzle being too close in the back, so I did the calibration using a gauge and this print but with the printer on, the bed at 100C, chamber at 60c, and with the holder printed in abs. Now I get perfect abs first layers throughout the complete bed. Much better than the method used by Bambu. Appreciate the print, and once I get a boost I'll be sure to use it on this.

Bro the second i get more Boosts im coming back and giving you all of them! The wiki for first layer problem should literally just be a link to this model. Ive had terrible first layer issues with my H2D since day 1 and I now have 3000 hours on my h2d. It was actually only bad with low temp filaments like PLA though so thats why i got away with waiting this long. Anything needing a high bed temp was fine but for pla I could only really use the back half of my plate if I needed the first layer to look nice. I actually printed your gauge holder like 6 months ago or something like that but finally decided to use it today. SUPER simple and super easy. I just shut off the printer and tried getting all 4 corners as close to the number as I was getting at the middle. When I was done the middle number changed (which is normal) all 4 corners were perfect. Ran a full calibration and did a 50c first layer test in PLA which prior to this I would NEVER be able to get a good result. Its perfect now

Hello! Thank you so much for this incredible feedback and the huge compliment about the wiki—I’m really thrilled! It’s a shame you had to struggle with PLA issues for so long, but it’s all the more wonderful to hear that my model has finally allowed you to utilize the full print bed of your H2D. 3,000 hours is quite an achievement, and the fact that the first layer now adheres perfectly even at 50 °C is exactly the goal I was aiming for with this tool. Thank you also for your generosity regarding the boosts! But what matters most to me is that your printer is now delivering top-notch results again. Enjoy printing across the entire bed!

my shaft is too short 😭

@AMFINITY3D

oh.. xD maybe try to put out the nozzles :)

@_urhainess

Replying to @AMFINITY3D :

You can not move the bed higher than the nozzles, that is the idea of homing the tool head...

Good model, I did however print it in a single color from PLA, which is why I had to adjust the profile and supports a bit :)

This one is very good (as opposed to the minimalist one) and using the rails was a great idea. I'll boost once I get some boost to spend.

great color combo

@_urhainess

does this work on a H2C as well?

The designer has replied

@AMFINITY3D

i am not sure if the toolheadrail is the same on the h2c/h2s compared to the H2D. Theoretically speaking, I would say yes, since you equip all accessories with the same recordings and don't differentiate between models here. But I would say just print it out and test it. It's not a lot of material and time if it doesn't work out :)

@_urhainess

I will try it when my H2C arrives and keep you updated ❤️
