| As the bed size scales larger, small errors in the bed level scale exponentially. For this reason larger beds are harder to level and require the level to be more accurate. Printers such as the Neptune 4 Plus and Neptune 4 Max present additional challenges for bed leveling. | As the bed size scales larger, small errors in the bed level scale exponentially.

| Recall that in geometry a plane is defined by at least 3 points in space. If we use the probe to measure the bed height at three (or more points) and the Z height agrees, the plane would be level. If we take those measurements at positions on the bed where we can adjust it's height, like the bed screw positions, we can adjust the screws and measure them and when we get each of the bed screw positions measuring the same Z value, the plane would be level. | Recall that in geometry a plane is defined by at least 3 points in space.
