(`DELTA_CALIBRATE`). Automatic probing utilizes a hardware device
capable of triggering when the toolhead is at a set distance from the
bed. The manual probing method will move the head near the bed and
then wait for the user to follow the
["paper test"](Bed_Level.md#the-paper-test) steps. It is recommended
to use manual probing for delta calibration. A number of common
printer kits come with probes that are not sufficiently accurate
(specifically, small differences in arm length can cause effector tilt
which can skew an automatic probe). Manual probing only takes a few
minutes and it eliminates error introduced by the probe.
