Do I need to manually level the bed before auto levelling works?
Hi all. I literally just got my Mini assembled and have turned it on. I've been through the wizard, and all is well until I hit the First layer Calibration. I've adjusted the nozzle pretty low (-.890) and that looks like it's working great on the right side. The left side is a mm or two higher and as you can see in the print comes out unusable. I've done the Mesh Bed Level test too. So, do I need to manually adjust the bed to a certain tolerance before the auto bed leveling works? Also, is this possibly a Z axis problem?
Thank you!

Thanks! I had done the Bed Level correction. I think it was the Z axis. I loosened the four 3m bolts on the right side, tilted in the z axis and tightened them back up. It took a few tries, but I've had a few perfect test prints now. Now I'm about halfway through my first Benchy and it seems ok!
