Is this beyond the pale? Recently got a Neptune 3 pro and have been having issues. Anyone have some tips? Is this resolvable? Can a bed for these be replaced?

I uncommented the Gcode line to use this matrix now which I didn’t before. But still having a lot on inconsistencies.

    Not saying this is great advice but I had to pull up on one side of my Neptune plus in order to kinda bend it to the point where it was flat. It seemed like the bottom left had gotten bent downward to a point that I couldn’t fix it with leveling

      I did the same thing. I have a Neptune 3 pro. The front goes up a touch and the back goes down about half a mm. I just pushed down on the front and pulled up on the back edge a bit to attempt at least a bit of correction. Seems to have helped a little bit. I’ve been considering printing some soft jaws for my vice and trying to tweak it a smidge more.

      Definitely need to be careful doing this or the bed or heating elements can be damaged irreparably. Damaged heating elements are potentially dangerous.

    What seems to be the issue? If you got those mesh numbers using a probe, it just indicates that your bed is unlevel. You can home it, then disable the steppers to move the hotend around, and do the paper test. If you haven’t leveled your bed before then you can google the paper bed-leveling test.

    I say this because it seems like your bed is slanted downwards on the bottom-left corner (and/or slanted upwards on the front right corner). No offense if you do know how to level your bed though, if it’s some other sort of issue do let me know.

      Oh yeah I mean it’s definitely not level. The 3 pro doesn’t seem to have a way to manually level it. There are eccentric nuts which I have tightened, and that did stop the bed from rocking. But I think this is the “natural” lay of the bed. It seems like the disparity is vast

      Wasn’t sure if there was something that I’m not seeing on how to fix this on this particular device.
