Measure the diagonals, it is super super accurate. It compounds the error so if it say you are 1mm out you are definitely under 1mm out (I’m not doing trig). I measure the heck out of everything as I go.
Well the tape did show up. The only thing I can say at this point is try the 4 point leveling. Either make a new tray or some sort of cross brace and catch the back two corners. I have never used a bed larger than 200mm so I am assuming it is the bed at this point, you tried everything else. I have some 300 plates here but they seem flat, I see a high corner of 0.25mm but I haven’t checked too hard for edge burs.
I really don’t know what it could be. You tested the plate and it showed flat(did you set it on a glass shelf or anything?), tested the probe, moved the rails, moved the wires, changed the springs.
You can try manually twisting the bed into place? You got some gorilla strength?
Oh one of my printers just stopped let me see how far out it is. Generic $20 3mm thick heated bed that has been around for a long time.
Im guessing its the bed as well. I dont know what else it could be. I have some left over 2020 extrusion i might be able to build a frame under it. I believe i saw someone else do that as well so i will have to go back and find that. Would that take the place of the bed support or go on top??
I don’t think I’m weak but I don’t know about gorilla lol. It is 1/4" thick.
I did not. I don’t think i have a glass shelf that large lol. I do have an Ender 5 Plus with a 350x350 bed on it that might work though. Its just so hard to tell for sure with that magnet for the pei sheet on it.
At this point I have to just assume its the bed. I’m leaving for school in the morning so when I get back Friday evening/Saturday I’ll see what I can come up with for a frame underneath it. At that point hopefully I’ll be ready to cut the rest of the panels and I can just do it all at one time.
What about getting rid of this PEI sheet and getting a glass top for it??? All my other printers have glass on them and the more I use this PEI sheet i remember why I have glass on them LOL. I’m going to look around and see what ole scamazon has for a 310x310 glass bed.
You know I do have the “project the mesh” on in marlin. Maybe try getting your rear points closer to the back edge, and do a tighter mesh, 6x6 or 7x7. Maybe it is just projecting it real nasty,
Ok your gonna have to repeat all that in “redneck” English LOL. If you can walk me through how to do that I will for sure give it a shot but I’m Marlin dumb if you remember from earlier in this thread LOL.
Just for SnG I took the glass bed off my CR10S Pro (310x320) and threw it on there just to see what the mesh will look like. I’m expecting it to be exactly the same but figured why not try it.
I’m running it again with the bed not clipped. If you think its the head moving after that I’m going to bring her good camera in here and take a video of it and see if we can see it move. I sure cant see it standing there watching it… But that doesnt mean anything LOL
The Bltouch is mounted firmly with lots of slack on the wires to it those wires are mounted to something secure before the umbilical, the extruder is mounted firmly, and the core is firm to the bearing block, nothing wiggles?
Would observing/filming motion/probing while using a laser help? Use a professional tripod of course :-). Only works if the printer is on a true level, true flat surface. Kitchen countertop is best surface I have for this.
