Improving the G32 bed levelling file supplied with the Troodon V2 Printer
Overview
The Troodon V2 Printer comes supplied with a bed levelling file for levelling the gantry to the bed. This is great except it only runs the levelling cycle once. This could result in the gantry not being as level to the bed as it could be. You could run G32 a number of times until the values converge but its much easier to let the firmware worth this out for itself.
The bed.g file can be found on the system screen in DWC.
Default bed.g file
Below is the default bed file for reference.

This will repeat the gantry levelling routine until the deviation between all 4 points is less than 0.01mm or the bed has been probed 5 times.
