Cold and Dirty bed leveling script with Gauge

If your printer doesn't have a bed leveling sensor and you are worried that a standard bed leveling script will ram the nozzle into the bed, then this may help.
Run this gcode script to do a quick and safe bed level using the provided 1mm spacer gauge. Once you have the bed roughly adjusted then you can heat the bed and nozzle and do a final bed level with one of the many scripts available.
The Gauge is designed with a height of 1mm but that height is dependent on your printer calibration. It is not important if it is not exactly 1mm as this is only intended to be a quick and rough pre calibration test.
I recommend that you give the top and bottom surfaces a quick sand to ensure they are free of print artifacts.
Note: This does NOT print any test pattern it only moves the print head to the four corners but keeping the nozzle 1mm above the set Z Homing position so you can do a quick adjustment.
