I was VERY skeptical and HESITANT to pay $25 for some "toy" that "supposedly" makes leveling a 3D printer better. I moved 2yrs ago, and in the process, knocked my J.G. Maker Artist-D Pro IDEX printer, as well as my Geeetech A10, out of level. If you have an A10, you know that's a pain; if you have an Artist-D, you know that's HELL ON EARTH and the proverbial ARMEGHEDDON rolled into one!!! I tried downloading the last "Auto-bed Leveling" software from J.G. Maker (been out of business a few years now, I think, and support wasn't good even when they were, I found out). Manually leveling on that thing is a nightmare... no, a night-TERROR, and that's just the 1st extruder. This $25 "gadget" is "supposed" to work a MIRACLE and, somehow, make a task that takes HOURS (literally) resolve in only minutes... I'll believe it when I see it... (Rolleyes)!! I AM A CONVERT AND I NOW BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!!! Daggone if it didn't take only minutes to level that DEMON of a printer (after I gave up trying to manually level it, downloaded and ran the developer's leveling script and test files, and stopped trying to overthink it)! I had to run the script 2x, and (of course... 'cause the Artist Pro didn't want to give in), the downloaded leveling script only checked the left and right rear, and left front of bed, then homed. Easy fix though... I just manually moved bed to left front, raised/lowered Z-axis til sensor barely came on, then manually moved to right side, and adjusted bed leveling wheel til sensor barely came on again. The 2nd run was only to fine tune right front side after running test!! That also means that the 2nd extruder can be leveled by just adjusting it down til it activates the sensor in the same way. THIS LITTLE "GIZMO" IS WORTH EVERY BIT OF THE $25 PRICE!!! The A10 is next (once I tighten the stupid bed back down and stop it from shifting around). I was just going to sell this gadget on FB and try to get my money back, BUT NOW, IT'S A PERMANENT TOOL IN MY 3D TOOLBOX!! BUY IT... YOU WILL N O T REGRET IT!!!!

The E-leveler is a must have for older printers. It's super easy to use and gives great results in a fraction of the time. It is well build and is definitely made to last. The only thing is found wrong with it is its a little hard to see the little target you are supposed to use to line up the nozzle. Other than that it's a very handy tool to have for a pefect z-offset and level bed.

I could never get my Ender 3s1 to print right figuring I couldn't get the bed to level. Turns out my printer head would never stay on right. I hated both of my Ender printers (microcenter refunded me 2x)

If you have a 3D printer that doesn't have auto bed leveling... Or if you just want to fine tune the one you have, this is the perfect thing. I absolutely hate the guessing game of the "paper" leveling method on my printers. It takes several passes and is never truly accurate. This little device took the guess work out of it, was accurate and fast. I went around twice and it leveled to perfection. The print test came out perfect. I'm a big big fan of this little device. I will always have one on hand from now on.

The tool is an excellent idea but with one flaw. While it does provide excellent leveling of the reference points, the bed has to be cold when using it. The issue with this is that the bed can twist a bit when heated and thus, your perfect level of a cold bed is of no use now. So, if they came up with a version that could be used on a hot bed, it would be five stars. Update November 12, 2023 I decided to try using it while the bed was hot (60c). I figured the worse that could happen was it melted. Turns out, it works just fine. The trick I found was to level the bed with paper first. Then, I used the control panel to manually raise the printhead until the eleveler went under it. Using the manual X, Y, and Z controls, I was able to get the bed level to within 0.1mm. So, I'm raising my rating to 5 stars.

Quality seems OK, but when I load the 300x300 gcode provided in the link my printer shows it loading and then it just goes away. There is YouTube video for auto-leveling beds and z-offset that I have followed as well, but without the gcode working, I could just use the paper method as effectively without the costs. Also, the red piece that holds the e-leveler level slips off very easily when moving the e-leveler around. This can be a bit frustrating. Lastly, I have some confusion about the light. There isn't a solid "on". When adjusting up and down the light may sometimes flicker or be halfway powered. Is this level or should the light be fully powered on?

I was really hopeful this would solve my Ender 3 V3 SE bed leveling issues. The tool is well-built, easy to use, and the labeled turn directions are a nice touch. But despite following CHEP’s video and trying multiple configurations, spacers, and shims, I couldn’t get consistent or improved results. In fact, my bed mesh was worse after using it. I reached out to support, and after a few days was told my request would be forwarded to CHEP himself. That was the last I heard. No follow-up, no help—just a $30 tool now sitting unused in a drawer. To be fair, the product seems to work for many people, and it might still be user error on my end. But without proper support to troubleshoot, I couldn’t get the value I expected. If it works out of the box for you, great. If not… good luck.

It levels the bed for me, and honestly I always recommend it to my friends who wants to get into 3D printing

I purchased this item out of curiosity and very very quickly came to the conclusion that it doesn’t work Don’t waste your money on it. The only way to tram your print bed is by the good old fashioned way of using a piece of paper. This is just a gimmick aim at people who are new to 3D printing. I have an updated of my previous review. After continually messing around with it I managed to get the bed on my Ender 3 Pro perfectly Trammed but when I replaced the PEI sheet I had tram it again.

No more paper sliding between the nozzle and bed. I'm a beginner at 3D printing and this makes bed leveling soo much easier. The gcode file does not stay long enough at each position so I manually move the head to each corner.

This is a very nice item well built and does the job well

So easy to use and understand works like a charm only thing is I wish the red cap was glued on so it doesn’t come off so easily…. 10/10 would recommend
