The most informative video I have found yet on solving my bed leveling issues. If only Anycubic themselves had some tutorials as useful as this.

Installed the spacer mod you outlined, and used a straightedge to "eyeball" level it. I will go back and use a dial indicator later this week, but already the change has netted good results. Thank you

Thank you so much for this, you've no idea how much I appreciate it! Was having all kinds of issues with my kobra 2 max and your guidance helped me a lot.

A new owner supplemental parts list for the spacers, printed parts, depth gage and clip on print, would make a great PDF or even an nice bundle pack. I'd probably spend $20 on a kit that had all the parts you used/listed in order to get the bed leveled out of the box. Super helpful video!

just a word of caution, do not move the bed or head while the machine is switch on.without disabling the steppers 1st. it creates its own electricty and you can blow your board or display pannel.

If they allowed you to disable the mesh leveling you would honestly have a way better time. That is my issue right now, my bed is dead flat using your methods and the mesh digs into the bed in certain spots.

I also got this issue of shifted layers. According to my observations, these issues happen at quite big distance from build plate (around 20-30 cm), which means the weight of plastic is already sufficient. I reduced all accelerations to 5000 mm/s2, and till now I never got this issue again. Seems that in my case the motor skips the steps when the load of plastic is around 300 g or more, and inertia of build plate + printed model is too high for motor...

Thanks for sharing stuff on K2Max. You probably have part wobble and not y-axis shift. I see it when I print tall vases

check your belt tensions on the bed, make sure they're equal, i was playing with them and found this to be an issue i had

Did you make the dial caliber attachment?

Can you provide the STL for the dial indicator?

Hello, thank you very much for this video and your work on it. I use the same printer, what I saw on yours is the drag chain for the rear cable. Since there are matching end pieces on your drag chain, I wanted to ask if you would make the .stl file available to me. Many greetings from Germany.
