My prints come out very well but I’m noticing on larger prints that one corner of my bed prints tighter than the opposite. What’s causing this?
Printing on an Ender 3 Pro with upgraded metal extruder, beefier bed springs and metal levelers, and upgraded hot end. Not direct drive yet and no auto bed leveling.
Probably an unlevel bed, it's thinner there because the bed is higher.
I highly recommend a CR touch add on for ender 3s, probably the best upgrade I ever made. Not only will it fix stuff like this, but it will also let you plug the printer into your computer and you can use octoprint to render a 3d depth map of your bed which makes bed levelling super easy.
100% agree on the bed level sensor. I have a BL touch and it is far and away the best upgrade for my ender 3v2.
I'd definitely recommend anyone adding a touch sensor play around with different firmwares. I was running a very buggy firmware for about 2 years and didn't realize I could just find something that works better. My new firmware works so much better and has so many more features, all in a $0 upgrade.
As someone who's currently upgrading his setup, I've had no luck so far with firmware.
Can you point to some resources? I'm still a novice and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I've done some DDG searching and turned up some hot garbage, maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places?
Sorry, I'm not able to access my PC for a while so I can't look. All I did was google something like ender 3v2 bl touch firmware and went from there.
All goods matey, I have yet to do the sensor, I was looking into custom firmwares the other night and found some cool stuff, however my ender refused to accept any updates to it's standard firmware, so I figured I'd ask here.
