Yes, "Leveling" the bed on the Simpson is easy...what I expect will be hard is getting the plane of the physical bed to exactly match up with the XY plane of the arm movement. I have yet to see how well the homing switches will work for Simpson, but the linear-delta machines generally do a Z depth probe across the bed, and use that to compensate (in addition to the usual homing switches). -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
