Snapmaker U1 bed mesh - modern tech made leveling less relevant to print quality. Extreme example

This is my bed mesh for the example. I put a random object under one corner of the PEI sheet and leveled the bed.
Now to the print - short video showing full leveling/printing process.

It handled it pretty well, given that this is an extreme example and won’t happen in real life. I’ve seen quite a few people asking for these bed meshes so they can compare them to some other bed meshes. After this experiment, I have no idea why someone would waste their energy on this.

Curious to see multiple layers. I do believe I’ve seen a demo like this where mesh correction is so thorough, printing in that corner would pile up the layers causing one heck of a part distortion. :sweat_smile:

It’s a great demo though. In any case, if the distortion isn’t the width of a carabiner :rofl: over the whole bed, you’re not likely to notice it.

And for the concerned, I will put out there my mesh is 0.16 mm range over the full bed after a one time adjustment of bed skew using the klipper macro already there, and not close 9 mm before, ha. Also mentioned elsewhere, I was printing cleanly “out of the box” before even inspecting the mesh.

It’s still feedback given to Snapmaker though.

Thanks for sharing!

Wondering why this does not work that good on the older machines..

Less probing points and compute isn’t that great I guess.
