First Layer Inconsistent

After performing the mesh bed analysis and running first layer calibration, the left size of the bed is higher than the right. So I cannot get the whole print bed with a consistent first layer. 

I thought the mesh bed analysis was supposed to take care of this?

I have the SuperPINDA and Bondtech heatbreak and extruder.

Hi,

I also have problems using the far left side of the bed (only tested with PETG yet). I even did the silicon bed leveling mod. See here:

So even after the silicon mod your bed is not level and the mesh bed probe doesn’t compensate?

no that's not what I'm saying. With the mod it is easy to get your bed fully level (as you can see in my first picture - possibly even better with more time). But after having it completely level, PETG still wasn't sticking at the very far right side (close to z-axis). In the other thread I assume this is somehow related to the SPINDA being not really close to the far right side. My results were better when I "lifted" the bed on the far right side by ~0.3mm

If it is just a tilt in the x-axis, there's a knowledge base article that shows you how to adjust the x-axis to compensate. I used it to get my x-axis pretty close to parallel to the build plate.

Thanks, gave this a try and now aobut 80% of the bed is consistent with first layer calibration.  The X-axis is still higher on the far right side.  At least this is a step in the right direction.
