Has anyone set up this Nodered HA script that gets the bed leveling data via MQTT?

I will be this weekend if I get a spare few minutes
Me too, if been having troubles with the edges getting furry with petg, ended up getting a ruler and doing a large print. Looks like the print head was collidingā¦ yeah. Banana clubā¦ Whats the process? email support?

Just wait, aviator, mine was perfect, ive never had the bed that hot apart from petg prints and mine ia now big enough to put a paddlepop stick (ice cream stick) meaning the sides hit the extruder. Attempted to fix it and have gotten it a bit better but assessing my options regarding warranty. Mines less than 6 months old.

Steve in all honesty playing the banana bed lottery is a mess all by itself. Exchanging emails with support is too time consuming. I would strongly recommend you look into @MadGoat method above. He took a 255x255 TronXY glass sheet and stuck it on top of the print plate side where the āCold Plateā sticker used to be.
This is, by far, the simplest method I have seen here which gets you a flat bed. For me this is a temporary fix till I get a milled bed made (which is taking bit longer than I thought but the glass bed is a great way to get a flat print surface in the meantime)

Glass bed is too heavy
Magnetic adhesive and magnetically attracted adhesive work great
But the weight of the glass is just too much and you get that sensor error
I kind of expected that and was just using my printer as a test mule
So now I have a magnetic glass buildplate that Iāll find another use for
The currents are obviously set for the lightweight aluminum plates and since we canāt fiddle with the firmware yet it is what it is for now regarding a heavier build plate 
Iām just lucky my bed isnāt warped yet

Yeah, I can understand trying the workaround, but for me, Trying to run a business and investing a significant amount of money on these machines over other alternatives means my only real option is to email support. I was hoping it wouldnt be a problem although knowing that certain areas of the build plate will produce poor results really annoys me.
Luckily Australia has good consumer protection laws, However Im sure that Bambu will help, Ive had nothing but excellent experiences with them to date.

I am using a glass bed and it is decently heavy yet I havenāt gotten that sensor error yet. Been using it for a while actually and on two X1Cs. Curious why thatās happening for you. I am using something similar to MadGoat; it is a 4mm thick piece of float glass (but I also ordered the TronXY plate as it just seems so aesthetically pleasing haha)

3/16 tempered glass is what I tried with the added weight of the adhesives on the top and bottom of the glass
Try 3mm thick borosilicate glass. Thatās whatās commonly used in the 3D printing world.

Very nice, would you be willing to share any details on the build?
Iād be more inclined to say you should offer your services to Bambu Labs as an expert consultant!

I think you can fix that sensor error with the manual tramming procedure. Its been mentioned on here.

I actually think in my haste that I made a couple of mistakes
#1 the glass plate is too small (10" x 10")
#2 the glass plate is too thick
Iāll try again but with a proper peice of glass with the correct dimensions
Another thing to note that I screwed up on is the placement, those build plate guides in the back are too shallow on the stock setup and at times I struggle to get the build plate where I want it
I am by no means done fiddling with it all because to be honest this is fun for me, but spare time is hard to come by these days especially with the warmer weather starting and me being a refrigeration mechanic

I designed new build plate guides Iāll share soon. I want to try them on one other bed first because they are a tight fit. I can make them even taller but they fit the Tonxy glass, magnet sticker then build plate like stock was.

Also. I had to screw the tramming screws (flush) in all the way to not get the Z error.
Checking in again, after using a 10 x 10 x 1/8" borosilicate plate for the past week, held in place by the four heavily modified low-profile clamps I described in a previous post. I actually bought two plates, so I could quickly swap them out and keep printingā¦since thanks to my banana bed Iām FOUR MONTHS behind on projects. No error messages due to the additional weight, everything seems to be running great. Iāve now printed over 80 parts for a large starship model, where the bottom surfaces have to be as flat as possible because of how the parts connect to one another, and so far Iām very happy with the results. As I say every time I post, I should not have to use this kind of workaround with a printer advertised as being both fast and accurate. BL needs to permanently fix the problem and take care of the customers impacted by it. Sending us replacement beds that are just as warped as the originals, or worse, doesnāt count.
For anyone wondering if you can print clamps using PLA and then use them to support larger and longer PLA print jobs, the answer is definitely yes. I was a little worried about potential clamp deformation from multi-hour exposure to a glass bed heated to 60 degrees, but since the clamps are at the very edges, itās a bit cooler. No issues. And yes, I could go through the trouble of applying a magnetic film to one side of the glass plate and a ferrous film to the original heatbed (recommended above), so I wouldnāt have to use clamps, but after a week of using the clamps, I donāt mind them. Minor hassle that enables me to use both sides of the plate and not worry about damaging the magnetic film during post-print cleanup. I did just print new versions of the clamps in ABS, to improve their strength and heat resistance. Might as well, now that my printer is FINALLY working again.

I thought Bambu had already begun the arms race?
Seems like theyāre not racing for flat beds 
Also love the radio silence from Bambu employees in this thread.
Do 220V users see worse warping since their bed heats 4 times faster than 110V?
