My prints come out very well but I’m noticing on larger prints that one corner of my bed prints tighter than the opposite. What’s causing this?

Printing on an Ender 3 Pro with upgraded metal extruder, beefier bed springs and metal levelers, and upgraded hot end. Not direct drive yet and no auto bed leveling.

    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 anyone adding a touch sensor play 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?

        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.

        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.
