 Mesh bed levelling allows you to level the bed at as many points as you would like to, in a grid. This allows you to get perfect first layer height anywhere on the large bed - and it does not matter if it is warped or not! Mesh bed levelling allows you to level the bed at as many points as you would like to, in a grid.

 +=== FAQ: What is GCode? ===
 +Gcode is just the language for the instructions that the printer follows to perform a print. Cura or your slicer, simply translates the STL file into the GCode that the printer run on. Pronterface allows us a way to send individual GCode commands one by one, and this is the way we can communicate to the printer, and perform procedures like this one.
