Bed warp issues

I have had my MK3 for about a year now, and have always had a problem with a "dead spot" in the bed. Basically, there is a region that is lower than the extruder expects, so the first layer is thinner than it should be, and the print always peels up at that spot. I've attached a picture that outlines the general region where this happens. In the picture, you can see that the print failed because the filament would not stick in that area of the print. The left side of the very outer band is much thinner (i.e. printed less close to the bed) than the right side of that band. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

RE: Bed warp issues

Are you running current (3.7.1+) firmware? If so, have you enabled the 7x7 mesh bed leveling? It is surprisingly fast and much more accurate. I swap beds frequently and rarely have a completely flat surface, yet get good results with it.

Also wouldn't hurt to use a bit of alcohol and really scrub the bed.  Looks a bit like you are also fighting oils.
