Meaningful X-Twist Compensation data is generated using a guided procedure in the LCD menu that compares measurements taken by the bed probe to readings taken manually at the nozzle. Since manual measurements are prone to inaccuracy, a metal feeler gauge is recommended over a paper test. If the first layer is still imperfect, `M423` can then be used to correct for small errors.
