Bed Leveling

[Arnaud]

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a proper video of bed leveling [ manually] for the Geeetech I3 . I tried many thing sometime it work sometime not. I need very detailed instruction to level the bed. Once this is done I will have my printer work at 100% quality, because now the printing is not that good.
I am searching of :
1 Video to show leveling properly , on this model or a model near to it.

or

2 Images and instruction very well illustrated and highly detailed .

This would be so cool. So anyone reading this , I hope you can help me. Because I'm stuck right now

I am sorry, but it's hard to show how to level the bed perfectly by taking picture or video, because the distance between nozzle and bed is to low.
I suggest you calibrate it when it's printing. Rotate the 4 screws on corners of bed, no gaps between printed lines is the best.
Also, good slicer setting is important. You can refer to this thread to set it:

What do you mean when you said " no gaps between printed lines is the best ". I am using 0.5 nozzle, can this change something?

I mean, calibrate the bed when the printer is printing the first layer. First layer is very important for the whole print, and you can see if the bed is level according to the first layer.
How to tell if the first layer is good? As you can see when it's printing, the filament is extruded as line and stick to bed, if the distance between nozzle and bed is too big, you can see there are gaps between lines obviously.
