Now i have solved my sloping bed issues, I continue to try and get the first layer to be the same across the entire build plate. the image below shows where I perceive I am failing. this is the print held up to a screen to act as a light box. The source STL is Bed Level Calibration Square Grid by…

Yea. I print across my whole sheet and find it doesn’t have any issues. I stopped testing things and just started making them. Reminds me of telescopes. If you Just hunt for numbers, you’re always disappointed. If you just use your equipment, it’ll work

[image] scyto: maybe due to surface coating difference I’ve noticed that Snapmaker’s coating on the sticker sheet is a bit too slick and makes it difficult for the first layer, extruded filament just drags across it in places because of it and sometimes even comes up and drags across into are…

[image] halr9000: So I went around the problem and am having great success with glass. Thanks, i am not surprised this works, i have a thesis the issue here is related to the ABL being used in SM2 instead of the newer UBL and the ability of ABL to create a useful mesh over such a large volume…

[image] Mads0100: Yea. I print across my whole sheet and find it doesn’t have any issues. Great, but the point is I do have issues and so from my perspective the rest of your reply is telling me to ignore adhesion / extrusion issues across part of my bed or you are just telling me to ignore t…

[image] Artezio: I’ve noticed that Snapmaker’s coating on the sticker sheet is a bit too slick and makes it difficult for the first layer I wonder if they have changed the layer over time, I have never had this issue with their build surface - if anything way to sticky, I found I have to prin…

@scyto When comparing the surface of it compared to one of my other printers, the surface of the Snapmaker sheet really doesn’t have much “grab” to it so to speak, it’s rather slick, especially if the user doesn’t clean it prior to each print like should be done leaving body oils on it, making it ha…

@Artezio i hear you, my experience is wholly different, i have rarely cleaned it and even then it is a damp piece of bounty kitchen roll (which I have found to be excellent at getting grease off aluminum range surrounds). I can only assume there is either inconsistent quality control in the flexibl…

Like I said the numbers don’t matter. I show about a 1mm difference in some of my areas. I do a 5x5. I have one of the energetic pei sheets you’re using, they’re not better than the snapmaker sheets and a lot of times worse (in my experience). What are you printing? What material? What are your set…

Stock set up no it’s not possible to use the full bed at any temp above ambient. I’m having a lot more successful level bed with glass but It was torture getting this to work, you can’t even clip the glass to the heated bed as it will still warp, I designed and printed my own brackets for each corne…

Is a consistent first layer across whole of A350 build plate actually possible?

I decided it could not be done with my bed regardless of how it is calibrated. So I went around the problem and am having great success with glass.
