Just put a ruler across my build plate and finally figured out why my models can spin like a top. Placed a support request for a resolution but after going through this god-awful long thread, it looks like I’ll have a long wait.
Was planning on buying two additional X1C’s but that is now on hold.
Prusa has MMU2, which is not as user friendly as AMS, but can do 5 filaments instead of 4 and works quite well. I’ve got one, speaking from my experience.
But, to be honest, MK3 is hardly any competition to X1C when talking about print speed or quality, sadly.
Just tried my first big print. My bed ist warped so badly that the first layer is failing on the left side, even with active bed leveling.
I can see the bed correction working, in the camera it’s possible to see the bed moving up and down with head movement (not z-hop), but it’s not enough to correct the bad bed.
That’s terrible for a 1600€ printer…
As I can see in this thread even if they send out a new bed it’s not getting better… I hop someone is working on a tuning bed made out of casted aluminum.
I must say at least for me the bed mesh leveling works way better on the X1C than the CRTouch on my ender 5, my ender 5 struggles to make a consistent 1st layer thickness even if the bed is maybe roughly a 3rd as warped as the bed on my X1C. I’m not sure if the bed probing on my ender 5 even does anything, I did once test by putting a block under the nozzle when it did the probing and it did print in the air at that spot so I guess it does something But not nearly as well as the X1C can adapt to a warped bed.
Same story with mine. Unacceptable for the Price, also contacted customer support a good month ago. Since then waiting for the new improved heatbed. No shipping updates available when they will arrive in the EU Warehouse. So I guess we just need to keep waiting…
„New improved“ ? Are they aware of the warped beds and said they get new, improved, flat ones ? Is it possible at this point to know you get a improved version of the heatbed and not just the same warped one again ?
Looks like ABL is limited to correct 1 layer thickness. I can’t print parts wider than 200mm, first layer will fail on the corners and edges.
In the middle all is okay.
gents, shout out to @Umuzoo for being so fantastic! My plate arrived broken and he offered to send me a replacement. What a stand up dude!
I am not joking for all of you suffering from warped beds, contact @Umuzoo for his glass plate. It is an excellent fix for this wretched banana bed problem!
My bed was shaped like a banana on my X1C. The auto bed leveling took care of it, but the problem is that I don’t get flat prints. Contacted support and they agreed that this had been a problem but that they had put in new QC procedures to put out flat plates. Told me to wait 4 weeks until the new QC beds were in and they’d ship one to me.
