Customizable Mesh Calibration Pattern by TTalkington

This is a customizable test pattern for testing and calibrating mesh bed leveling.
There are quite a few test patterns out there already, but I found most to be too complex and many are just static STL files that aren't customizable. So, I created this.
Either download OpenSCAD and use it to open the SCAD file or customize it directly here on Thingiverse:
Mesh Settings
Test Circle Radius: this is the size of the test circles
Mesh Points: Select the mesh size. If you use a different size you can just enter it directly in the OpenSCAD editor
Printer Settings
Layer Height: the height of the test circles, this should match your printing layer height
Bed Width & Length: this should be set to the bed width and length you have configured in your slicer
X & Y Inset: this is how much distance there is between the edge of the bed and the center of the test patterns. This should be at least twice the value of Test Circle Radius
2021-02-17: My guide to using these patterns with manual Mesh Bed Levelling can be found here: https://the-eg.github.io/2021/02/17/manual-mesh-leveling.html
2021-02-28: I've now switched to using UBL with PROBE_MANUALLY. If you are using this pattern and OctoPrint, you may find my plugin useful for editing the UBL mesh: https://github.com/The-EG/OctoPrint-UBLMeshEdit
