Post by: JaS on September 17, 2023, 10:13:42 pm

Hello
Question for you 3D guys.
How often do you level yours beds?


Cheers
Jack

I locked my bed. Removed the springs and shimmed it until it was as level as I could get it. With the standard sprung rig, it was always going out of whack. I also run a bed levelling sensor.

After every time I print something that takes up most of the bed space, before printing something big or after my other half has ‘delicately’ taken something off the bed {-)

I have a new Ender 3S1, after initial setting up, I’ve never had the need to. Going on twenty odd prints now. My old Ender3v2 printer  only needed levelling a few times in the three years I’ve  used it. I’m in the process of upgrading it just now to run alongside the S1, it’s a great little printer and has proved faultless since I got it.
