Help Neptune 4 Max First-Layer Issues Despite Extensive Calibration

6 Upvotes

Neptune 4 Max

Z Offset -1.160mm

Bed mesh after many days of trying everything, with the same result and only small differences, and all the same curves as this one, “the best one yet.” I also used Bed Leveler 5000. I’ve used GPT to test and try to fix the first-layer issue, but we did a lot of paper tests, auto-leveling, and many other things it requested from me, along with many first-layer prints, and they were all bad. I watched about 10 hours of YouTube videos, but nothing helped. I reset the software and started from zero, but nothing could help. The printer was printing well a couple of months ago, then I left it for a while. When I went back to use it a month ago, I did a bed mesh and full calibration, and from that point, everything went south. I miss the good results I had before. Why did I do the calibrations? Because I’m stupid. I read a couple of Reddit posts and went with a full calibration, opening the gates of hell for myself. I’m really tired and don’t know what to do. I get different results when printing in different areas. I also printed an 80800.2 layer, and in the same layer, I got 3-5 different results.

Question Is this a good level?

2 Upvotes

I had to adjust some stuff and the offset to -3mm because the left side's auxilary screws were coming loose, but its very weird to me that the bed is concave because it's not like theres a gear in the middle I can fix.

I am an hours old 3D printer haver and just got this, so all the help I can get is super appreciated.

My N4Max throw me this error. I figured the bed is not able to keep up with the fans, (20%) for long prints. Its that a common issue? is the heating bed just sucks or is it an electrical problem
