Bed Level Correction assistance
Hello,
What adjustments should I make to the Bed Leveling based on this picture? I think I have the main calibration down just fine, but I just wanted to ask the experts on how to improve this bit.
I so far have adjusted my Left side by -10, should I adjust the front or rear? Adjust the left side some more? Thank you for the help!
Z is too low.
Wavy like water - z too low.

Wavy like water - z too low.
This isn't entirely the case based on those pictures, unless I'm mistaken.
The center square, second picture, looks like the nozzle is too far hence the gaps. Right square, third picture, also looks the same.
I've had this very issue. Have added +40 to Left, Right Front and Back whilst raising the Z lower to -1.355 (based on my PINDA height). Have actually reached out to support to confirm my build efforts as +40 on all seems a bit high.
And fingerprints
The lifting under some of the squares is curioiusly the same size and shape of fingerprints. I'll stand by "clean your bed, and raise your Z 20 microns.
RE: Bed Level Correction assistance
Again I'll disagree.
Speaking for myself, my bed is cleaned with >90% isopropyl between each first layer print. Fingerprints are not the cause of the gaps. The Z is too high in these areas relative to the warping.
Sounds like you don't need any help...
Ok. Glad you got it all figured out.

I didn't create this thread, I am simply posting based on my experience of performing bed level correction.
In some areas OP's Z is too low (Bed Level Correction required), in others it's too high.

Agree with Dan, oils from touching are clearly visible in your pictures. Those skin oils cause lifting just like you have pictured. Oh and IPA does not remove skin oils, it merely moves it around and spreads it into a thinner layer. Unless you use gallons of the stuff. Have you used gallons ?
Detergent on the other hand is designed to remove it. That combined with lots of HOT HOT water to rinse everything away. You asked for advice, people have given it. If you don't want to try it then what was the point of asking ?

It's clear this forum exists to inflate one's ego. As I have previously said, I am not the author of this post - I did not create it nor am I asking for help.
Dan said Z is too low. Based on those pictures that is not correct.

Hello everyone!
First off, thank you for some of the advice and input from the more seasoned veterans of this craft, I am very new to all this even though I have had this printer for a while.
Forgive me as I live in the US, so I couldnt try any of these things until I got home.
I have taken all of the input that you have given me and got the test print as good as I think I can get it!
For people who will be searching in the future for topics like this, let me give some stats.
I ended up with a Z level of -0.703
I raised the Front by 2
Lowered the Left by -7
I tested several times (4 times in total) to finally come up with the things above.
I cleaned the plate very thoroughly with detergent and then 91% Isopropyl alcohol after each print and this also helped a lot with the first layer.
I am now fully printing my first piece and hope it goes well.
Again, thank you for all the help!
