I’ve got an Ender 3-pro with cr-touch and plastic washers instead of springs. I sanded down the washers to manually level the bed to var of 0.372.
When I adjust the z-offset it prints great but I need to adjust it before every single print. It stays within a fairly narrow range, -1.11 to -1.37 but if I don’t do that adjustment, the print usually fails.
I preheat the bed and nozel before adjusting it. None of the screws seem to be loose. The nozel doesn’t jiggle around. I tightened down the screws for the z-actuator.
What else could I be missing?
I still have this problem. The right side of the x axis is loose on the upright for me. Adding a dual z-axis didn’t help much, it still sacks sometimes. Next step is to add a cr-touch or completely rebuild. I’d also like to hear some other ideas for permanent fixes
Why plastic washers instead of springs? Is the bed sagging due to the washers deforming with heat?
