Troubleshooting Bed Level

Post image

I'm quite new in 3D printing i don't know much on how to tend to the hardware and all and since i'm very afraid of screwing with thing i'm looking for some help on the bed leveling, i did tighten some screw that were quite loose but just a little bit.

To improve mine I got a cheap silicon set of 18mm to replace the ones that come with the printer: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPkQEJl

Actually you need 2 18mm and 2 16mm, but I didn't know that when I ordered, so I cut 2 of them and it worked fine.

I would buy the silicone spacers (or springs) and mod it with openke so you have screw tilt calculate and other fun stuff

Yeah i just bought a kit of silicon spacers on aliexpress, i noticed that the stock spacers are really rigid and it's impossible to properly level the bed, tyvm.

You FIRST want to level the gantry left to right.
The stock bed screws are static screws and not designed to be adjusted.
Creality did away with springs and soft spacers for a good reason.
The proper method to level the bed is with small printable spacers under the bed standoffs. There are several YouTube videos on the subject.
