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.

always also post the section where the range etc. is stated in. although, your target shoulb be <0.200

How do i post the section where the range is?
fair-rose•2y ago
you do a screenshot and insert it here!?

Realized what you were talking about right after I responded 🤦🏼♂️
What do you mean by 'clean up'? The bed mesh accounts for variation in the surface, it doesn't eliminate it... Either way 0.3mm variance on a 500mm2 bed is great, I wouldnt touch it

That’s what I was asking, if it would be able to account for variance I have.
Yep. Easily in fact.

I just see a lot of people say no more than.200 and mine is .358
Acceptable variances depend on bed size (and after that, whatever further requirements you want to impose or need)
. 200 often refers to 300mm bed... I have a 300, my variance is 0.234 and I get great prints

That’s good to know, I may try to straighten out the back right corner a bit, but other than that, I think it looks good as well

Not sure why I didn't see this sooner, but all of our beds are no more than 0.2mm out of flat. If you look at the engraving on the bottom of your bed, it gives the flatness tolerance that we measure before we ship any bed.
I actually looked your order up, and your bed is about 0.06mm out of flat if I happened to get the correct order.
If you are getting a variance on our bed of 0.3mm, you have some tweaking to do as you can get it down a lot from that.
