Although I rarely move my printer (it is in an enclosure), I find that the bed frequently requires re-tramming.  I'm guessing that is because of the “frog” warping over time.  For years I have tried to use a tool that I modified from the original (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3499014) to tram (level) the bed on my MK3.  It was tedious and I decided to design one that I could use the degrees output by the OctoPrint Leveling Guide plugin.  The basic design is the same as my previous remix because of the different ones I have used, it was the easiest to use.  This design has markings at 2.5 degrees and the “10's” markings are there to make it easier to find the degree you need.  Marking every or every other degree was not usable because they were too close together to print clearly.  The hex wrench is not captured by the tool because I found that tool type made it very difficult to get the wrench in the socket of the screw.  It is very easy to put the wrench in the socket and align the tool with the handle so you can then turn to the desired degree.

I have included the FreeCAD file so you can modify it if you need to.
