Non Level Print Bed, I think,

Good day fellow Prusa owners. Looking for some guidance. The attached picture is to help with the bed level. I am looking for guidance as to what direction and settings I should be looking at to fine tune my bed. The front corners have always been problematic and I am wanting to print a couple of things that take up the entire print bed but can’t with the way it is.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Andrew,

make sure your build plate is scrupulously clean, consider washing just the build plate,with dish wash detergent, or dishwash soap (fairy liquid, dawn ) and water, or similar, rinse off with clean water and dry with a clean paper towel, do not use fabric as the fabric may have been treated with a softener, which could pollute the build plate

try adjusting your ' bed level correction options in the configuration menu on the LCD when the printer is not printing...

looks like the front needs a negative number, try -20 for starters, and increment if you are still too high

regards Joan

I would try the new 7x7 calibration that up on GitHub it work great for me. Note I Also heated the Pinda to 30c before starting. Good luck I hope this helps. A lot more information at the link

Thank you both for the help. I had to do a little of both. Placed the 7x7 firmware on the printer and also cleaned the surface with Dawn. Attached is the new test print. Feel much better now about printing larger prints. Also this is with my Bed Correction all set to 0.
