Bed Leveling

Hi everyone,

I have a MK3S and I just got MK4. With the MK4 I have been having warping problems also using only PLA. Therefore the bed is not leveled I think. If I print this:

everything is perfect, however as soon as I print higher parts, eventually it warps. 

I tried to level the bed using this guide too

It helped but still the parts warp. What can I use to level the bed? I saw Octoprint has a great wizard, does it work for MK4? HELP!

RE: Bed Leveling

You don't need to do anything special to level the bed it's a built-in feature now. The bed is auto leveled on every print and it works great if the nozzle is clean. If the nozzle looks a bit grubby I preheat it and give it a scrub with a brass brush before starting the print.

What do you mean by warping though? Warping as in most recently printed layer (the top) is curling up? Or warping as in the first layer on the bed (the bottom) is detaching after more layers have been printed?
