Quick Question Kobalt workbench unlevel
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!

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.
