Comment on [ISSUE] Layer is closer at one end than other

Probably an unlevel bed, it’s thinner there because the bed is higher.
I highly recommend a CR touch add on for ender 3s, probably the best upgrade I ever made. Not only will it fix stuff like this, but it will also let you plug the printer into your computer and you can use octoprint to render a 3d depth map of your bed which makes bed levelling super easy.

100% agree on the bed level sensor. I have a BL touch and it is far and away the best upgrade for my ender 3v2.
I’d definitely recommend playing around with different firmwares. I was running a very buggy firmware for about 2 years and didn’t realize I could just find something that works better. My new firmware works so much better and has so many more features, all in a $0 upgrade.

As someone who’s currently upgrading his setup, I’ve had no luck so far with firmware.
Can you point to some resources? I’m still a novice and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’ve done some DDG searching and turned up some hot garbage, maybe I’m looking in all the wrong places?

Sorry, I’m not able to access my PC for a while so I can’t look. All I did was google something like ender 3v2 bl touch firmware and went from there.

All goods matey, I have yet to do the sensor, I was looking into custom firmwares the other night and found some cool stuff, however my ender refused to accept any updates to it’s standard firmware, so I figured I’d ask here.

I had the same issue myself when I added my bltouch to my CR-10v2. Maybe check YouTube videos for GitHub links? I used the 3dprinting Canada video which had a link to a firmware build that worked.

Appreciate it, I’ll look further into it, a touch sensor is next on the list, be glad to have the knowledge handy when the time comes.
