Calibration issue?

Hello,
I'm using MK3 3.3 firmware - and having run the full calibration just a few days ago (successfully) I would like some advice. I've attached a photo of a failed print that fills the entire plate. This is the 3rd filament I've tried, so it's not just a bad filament. What seems to going on is that the plate is too far down for the filament to the far left on the bottom to "catch". I presume adjusting the screws on the bottom will be a bit, but I thought the calibration would make adjustments for small offsets?

Do note, that before using firmware version 3.3 I used 3.1 and this same hardware printed fine in the lower left corner - BUT that was with a manual calibration as the automated one failed all the time. With 3.3 the calibration succeeded but I get this result.

Btw sorry for using the transparent filament for this post. I had a green one last night failing the same way that I threw out - before I thought it.

Re: Calibration issue?

Hi Peter. Have you tried the Bed Correction options on the lcd screen
Where you can raise or lower the Left, Right, Front or back by a smalk amount relative to the centre?

The manual adjustments doesn't seem to support "lower left" only. I can either adjust ALL of the left side, or ALL of the bottom side, so it doesn't seem like a fit for the issue I'm seeing?
