Heatbed issues

I have been having issues where I cannot get my printbed to be level no matter what I do. The auto level seems to be ok, but there are areas of the bed which are either too high or too low. I am in need of suggestions as to what I can do or if the mesh leveling isn't working properly. Here are pictures of my issue. There are spots toward the top middle which are too high and the lower right is too low.

I used to have the problem with the upper left corner which would cause the print to warp in that corner, but I added a small space to completely level the bed hoping it would fix the issue with the right side always being too low but it didnt.

Re: Heatbed issues

Is the PINDA probe located nicely within the 9 circles on the bed when measuring? Just wondering if it might be getting an inaccurate reading from a point or two.

I can say at the very least that the first and last two points are encapsulating the probe nicely. It is a little difficult to see the others on the bed.

Edit: I see that there is a beta calibration firmware and will probably try it out after my current print finishes. Maybe that will sort out my issue.

Re: Heatbed issues

Yeah, I tried the 3.0.4 Beta yesterday.

My front right probe point has always pushed the bed down by a millimeter or so.

I ran the bed calibration to find the best probe point triggers and now my first point is a couple om mm outside the dotted circle and my front right point pushes down even further.

I think the inserts in the bed which trigger the probe have some inconsistencies.
