Hello everyone

I have noticed that the plate is wearing out in that area, as you can see on the next picture:

Is this normal? Do I have to make some kind of adjustment?

Ty for your help

hi,
Yes it’s normal it’s a part of all checks made at the beginning of a print.

The location is bit off. Usually, that happens in the middle of the tab. It is unfortunately easy to set the bed at a minor angle.

The build plates are considered a consumable part. Can’t really speak to nozle placement on a A series printer but part of the printers start up routine ts to clean the tip and that tab on build plate is for that cleaning routine.

This happened on mine too, I flipped it over and it was like new again.

Then I ordered some new plates for next time.

That area normally gets the nozzle dragged on it… my a1 and p1p both do it.
