Comment on This is because of a filthy print sheet, right? (more pictures inside)
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 weeks agoI have a printer (Ender 3 v2 Neo) with a z-probe that when you tell it to autolevel, it sets the bed and nozzle target temperatures to 0°. (As in, turns both heating elements off.)
Why I stopped buy Creality printers. And the features that never arrived. heating beds are coils under aluminum, so the plate will differentially expand when heated. Measuring the mesh cold is a waste ot time.

You say that, but it’s a hell of a lot better than nothing. I remember the days of not having no Z-probe on my other printer and not being able to use more than (generously) a 3"x3" square of my 8"x8" bed without really bad bed adhesion issues and no amount of manual leveling would help. Even on the aforementioned Ender 3 V2 Neo, I almost never have bed adhesion issues. My estimation of my experience is that leveling a cold bed is about 97.5% as helpful as leveling the bed hot.
