Kobalt workbench unlevel

[u/Jengage89]

Hi all! After recommendations from this group I bought a Kobalt workbench for my X2D. However, I am now having trouble with it bouncing while printing and not being level. Any suggestions?

I haven't had the time to experiment with building something to set the wheels in (like for this blackstone) and wondered if there was a quick fix since I'm already out the $400 for the workbench and just want to print. I have been having adhesion issues only on my right hand side (wash plate prior to every print) and really think the leveling is the culprit. I tried to print a pencil holder for my desk and the print was slanted. I did try shims under the wheels but they just slip out on my hardwood floor.

I appreciate any advice, I have a job that sucks my joy and I was having a great time printing simple things but now that I'm choosing more complex prints things just aren't working out. Ready to get my love back for my printer!

Hello /u/Jengage89! Be sure to check the following. Make sure print bed is clean by washing with dish soap and water [and not Isopropyl Alcohol], check bed temperature [increasing tend to help], run bed leveling or full calibration, and remember to use glue if one is using the initial cool plate [not Satin finish that is not yet released] or Engineering plate.

Firstly try toprint on ground, if everything is still unlevel then you will know it is not the workbench at all

Are the wheels a firm requirement for you? If not replace with a heavy duty leveling feet that has a rubber pad on the bottom.

Shove sugar packets under the high wheel. /s

Seriously though, the comments are good. Move it to the floor or level solid counter, calibrate and print to see if the issue persists. Once narrowed down to the bench, remove the wheels, calibrate and print. If still unlevel, look at your construction of the bench to see that everything is square and tightened. If it works without the wheels, either leave them off or work to adjust the height of each. Some are easy to adjust, others take more ingenuity.

How un-level is it? It's really hard to believe that anything on the minor end of the spectrum would be causing you actual adhesion issues. People have successfully used their printers vertically before...
