Bed level issues

I am having huge problems on my MK3!
The pictures are of the left side and right side of the bed during a single print (they aren't separate prints, were printing at same time - This issue is constant and either causes what you or just a straight up failure on first layer.

It is not a "your z is too low" issue, if it was the left side of the bed wouldn't be printing as good as it is followed by the right side doing this.
I have played with the "bed correction" settings for literally days and have only managed to make it worse - some reason I can not seem to do this properly - or its not what the problem is.

Really truly need some help here guys, as it stands now my printer is almost useless and is extremely frustrating

Re: Bed level issues

Clearly, you need to use the "Bed level correction" from the Calibration menu.
On the right side, your nozzle is too low, so you have to raise it in the right part of the menu by putting there a positive value.

How does your first layer look in the center of the bed?

It almost seems like directly from the middle towards the right it gradually gets worse. I have tried adjusting the bed correction but haven't had much luck, Will just keep trying lol

LaPointe - After going back and adjusting it again (i put the right side of the bed to +9) it seems to be printing perfectly.

So now I am even more confused, I have been trying to fix this for about 3 days now. And just yesterday I was adjusting the right side by +1 incriments and went as high as +15 and nothing was working.

I did a test last night at +9 (what its at now) ran it twice to make sure and failed bad. Now today (just now) its printing perfectly.

Why would this happen?

Have you the PINDA temperature calibration on?
