Bed mesh on Vcore3.1 500
Hi everyone,
Can someone guide me through acceptable bed mesh deviation on a 500?...
Corner dip. Bed level with PAM. Uneven first layer. i.e. perfect layer one side, opposite too close
I have a problem that when laying the first layer, it does not seem like PAM does anything or not enough to make the layer perfect..
Do anyone know what is wrong here?
And how it can be fixed?...
first layer is not 100%
ive notice that my first layer is a little off. the right side of the bed is a little to high for some reason. my question is, can PAM mesh fix this? and if so, how do i set it up? today its doing a 3 point mesh for the whole bed. im thinking maybe it will get more accurate if it only make a mesh for the print area, or am i wrong?
Rear corner dip
I've been wrestling with this for hours now, after having installed the Enclosure kit earlier today - each adjustment I make seems to throw something out of whack. I'm sure I can improve on this since the tolerance before installing the enclosure was about .19mm. I have been unscrewing the left and right extrusions and adjusting them up and down to try and bring it into square as detailed in the FAQ video, and measuring my adjustments with a caliper just to make sure I'm not going mad - any idea...
New Bed Plate
Just installed new bed plate from Mandala, will the RR clean up this variance with a bed mesh or by running PAM before each print? Flatter bed picture is of new Mandala bed, wavy photo is of old RR stock bed.
First Mesh hot off the press
How am I looking? Is a variance of 0.179 good enough? This is without a magnet and plate on the bed. So I guess I just need to make sure this is good enough to proceed with actually finishing the build first. 😅
Sanity check
Hello. Just a sanity check. The front right (audience side) needs to go up a bit, correct?
Nozzle too low all the time
I have encountered a rather weird problem. The nozzle is ALWAYS too low. I have run several probe calibrations (I have BL touch) and mesh calibrations, both seem fine.
When I run print, the nozzle is 0,7 lower than it should be and when I dont lift it, it scrapes the bed hard.
Any suggestion what to do with this?...
VC500 bowed bed ?
according to the bed mesh some corners are out of square, that is obvious and needs fixing.
but what about the big bow in the center ?
i swapped the linear rails front and back, left to right and still the same.
Thsi is at ambiant temperature...........will it flatten with the bed heated ?...
Mesh for v-core 500
Hi! Finally my V-Core 3 build is starting to be finished. However I cant figure out how to flatten this mesh. Main problem is the dip on the left side. What is causing that?
Before and After
Good example of simple adjustment making a big difference, I kinda threw the frame together with eyeballing the square.
I adjusted the front right by hand no hammer and got it well within what I would accept. 0.2
This Video definitly made the adjustment make sence.

Bed or Gantry bowing
Any idea what might cause the bowing? I've tried loosening and reattaching x-gantry as well as y-rails since there seems to be bowing in both x and y directions.
The curving seems symmetrical and adjusting corners only increases variance.
I thought that maybe the spring steel print surface might be curved, but turning it around gives the same results....
Bed mesh, frame or bed?
Hi,
If anyone is able to come with an idea I feel like I am going crazy, in the last 4 hours I tried to fix it but I can't realise what is wrong. I know about the yt video about square frame but It doesn't say anything about motor side being uneven, in the picture I draw an "M" for each motor.
Please guide me a bit as I feel like it is a dead end....
More Mesh than hardware - Normal overkill?
may move this post ... since it effect mesh mostly I'll post here.....
I can noticeably measure the self sag of my VC500 bedplate. so I've designed a 'truss' with an adjustable center to minimize that sag. Front mount replaces the ball spacer, rear is simply bolted solid. The 'carbon fiber truss can free float (slotted holes) as the bed expands . the center vertical pin supports the sag. should be able to adjust as needed HOT or cold.
what say ye' masses? overkill? comments? flames? all are welcome....
Best practice procedure questions regarding hot & cold mesh profiles for minimizing failures.
Excuse my ignorance but coming from Prusa's this is all new to me and I have a million questions. My primary objective is to minimize the .100-200 microns gantry bow which I believe can knock off objects from the bed after 2-3hrs into a print even with the lid off my 2.0 with PLA temps. I believe this also increases the probability of layer shifts
- Should create and load a "hot" profile when the bed is hot?
- If so, how long do I leave it to soak?...
- If so, how long do I leave it to soak?...
Slanting down on either side, Im at a loss.
Im running a V^300 with an X gantry that is only using the linear rail, Im at a bit of a loss as to what to adjust to bring both sides level.
