    Marlin is an optimized firmware for RepRap 3D printers based on the Arduino platform. | Many commercial 3D printers come with Marlin installed. Check with your vendor if you need source code for your specific machine. (by Jyers)

  • Once you tram the bed, are you doing a mesh? I use UBL (Unified Bed Leveling) to do a 15x15 mesh that takes approximately 225 points of readings. If you are using Jyers firmware, which I highly recommend) or Professional firmware by mriscoc, both rimwares based on Marlin but are more rich in features than the base Marlin firmware, you can view the mesh on your display and see where the high/low spots are. The mesh can be saved to your EEPROM and used without having to redo the leveling process all the time. This is, of course, providing that your bed is not shifting and you wait for the bed to cool down before removing the prints so it doesn't mesh of the leveling. I am not sure about the Professional firmware (because I don't use that one) but I do know the Jyers firmware has a bunch of precompiled .bin files for all the boards and for many different configurations.
