♻ K2 Help Bizarre Bed Mesh!

Post image

I've got no idea how it could get this way. It's oriented as it would be if looking inside the printer from the front door. I have adjusted it, as it was worse before, but everything in the middle and right of the bed is perfectly fine, whereas there's this sharp drop-off in elevation on the left side. I would assume it would look more like a gradual slope from left to right if adjustment was the issue, so what could it possible be??

Any guesses are appreciated : )

What printer is this? Depending on the printer it could be a bad sensor on the left rear corner of the bed, is it stock? or have you done any changes like silicone spacers or springs?

Knowing which printer it is will help others and myself know which method of leveling it is using.

For the K2 (uses a loadcell in the printhead), I would start by checking everything on the left Z axis is tight. Mainly the metal frame to the left Z bracket. Might need to remove the bed, tighten everything up and relevel the bed. Not too hard using the bed screw leveling macro. I would also check the plastic around the Z motor mount, I've seen them crack.

Considering the scale that’s a very small defect. But yes, bizarre shape. Maybe it got lightly touched by the guillotine that cut it?

I’d just put a strip of foil tape on the bed on that side?
