When My A1 runs the bed leveling. It hits the bed approximately 3 to four times as it goes through the bed leveling. When it gets about 3/4 through the leveling I notice that on the left side of the plate it starts hitting the plate several more times in the three positions on the left and then it goes bck to normal leveling. When I print a design the design will not stick to the plate in those three positions but all other places on the plate will stick. Does anyone have a solution. Thank You
Sure it is just those spots and not a problem of the plate not being clean enough?
My P1 acts the same way, some points go quick but after a few it repeats the spot a few times.
AFAIK this is done to compare results.
All equal means all good, a difference can indicate z-axis issues or loose parts.

I’ve cleaned the plate and reset the printer, tightened the bolts and the problem still exists. I can use the printer and it prints are very good. The problem is just in a certain spot. I wonder if my plate isn’t heating in that spot which causes the filament not to stick to the plate.
Can you turn the plate over or try a different one?
Find it odd that the spots that fail are the same where the levelling happens…
I cleaned the plate throughly and tried both sides. I used a infared thermometer to check if the plate was not hating in the spot. The plate heated properly. I have no idea what to do now. I checked to see if I could order a new heat bed, but there wasn’t any shown on the website.
If it heats you won’t have to replace it…
Try something stupid…
Grab some painters tape put it onto bed, leave the cleaning strip free.
No problem for the bed levelling and if the first layer comes out fine you know it is the plate…
Can you send a picture of the plate?
