vcore 3.1 500 Bed Mesh
So I put my vcore 3.0 now 3.1 back together in hopes of trying to get the bed mesh sorted. I have always struggled with bed adhesion issues on this printer, and I feel like the bed mesh is somewhat at the root of this, even with adaptive meshing. anyhow, I have taken this thing completely apart, watched all the videos, and I still come back with this same general bed shape. Sort of "Taco shaped, with a wave at the back. By moving the Z tilt positions some, I have been able to get it to lay a little flatter, but it still looks like either a sag in the bed, or a slight upwards curve in the gantry center. This time around I went with an aftermarket gantry. I have tried loosening the rail and tightening from the center out, and from one end to the other, and I get the same result. Is there anything I can do to tweak this, or should I go right to swapping the gantry out?

Loose the screws of the gantry and tighten them when the chamber is fully heat soaked.
So I don't have the enclosure pieces installed at the moment due to all the fiddling, but I did preheat the bedplate and loosened the gantry and adjusted as well as re-cleaned the PEI plate and carefully cleaned the magnetic surface. The results are better, but certainly not perfect. This bed has always had that wave in it. In the past I have completely disassembled it down to the last extrusion and reassembled and it remains so I think that it is an artifact of a not perfectly flat bed plate. Any other suggestions or is .158 close enough for most cases?
On a 500, any range around 0.2 I always saw as a big win
That one bump is intereresting tho, could be something under your build plate
0.158!! what!!!
and you're not satisfied
bruh my printer should just jump out the window, it has like 0.9 on a good day
