Bed leveling issues Mk3
Hello all,
I am new to the 3D printing game, i have a newly assembled Mk3 that has printed a few smaller items without issues, I have noticed when trying to calibrate everything the bed sure does not seem to be level. I have tried adjusting the frame, adjust and retorquing the bed, but still it seem that the right side is higher and the left side is lower. This is obvious when i did a bed level print test you can see a lot of inconsistencies. Now is this something that can be corrected with the bed leveling adjustments in the menu or does this need to manually be shimmed?
here is my G81 data:

thank you so much!
Re: Bed leveling issues Mk3
your g81 is fine and lightyears inside of spec. if the pinda probe is correctly calibrated and you're letting temperatures normalize before running the mesh, it will do what it is supposed to do. be patient with the mesh correction menu and you will get there, 2-3 microns at a time will do a lot.
people are driving themselves absolutely insane trying for sub micron-perfect bed "level" and its completely pointless.
exceptions:
*If your bed has a serious defect that can be visibly measured with a straightedge/flat surface, thats a warranty issue and they're checked before they go out the door.
*If your buildplate has a serious defect that can be visibly measured with a straightedge/flat surface, thats another issue that you need to solve and you cannot get around that with mesh. some people are trying to use 7x7 and 9x9 meshes to get around it without solving the actual problem.
*if your goal is instagram galleries of pristine first-layer porn, then you really want something with a big, thick, manually leveled bed.
my side to side is something like .8 and it works just fine. no glue, no tape, no shims, no nothing.
