When printing on my Ender 3 Max Neo (stock except for a PEI bed), the right side of the bed is always printing too close. I manually leveled the bed, and then I run the auto-leveling sequence. I also have it set to run auto-level before every print, and confirmed that it’s enabled using M420 S1 after the G29 in the opening gcode.

I also disabled it in one test with M420 S0 and confirmed that it is making a difference so it appears to be working, but the auto-level map seems to be incorrect every time. Any ideas?

    The bed leveling is done with the bed and nozzle preheated to printing temp. As for the probe, it’s the stock probe on the Ender 3 Max Neo.

    The interesting part is the heat soak. I typically heat it and then only wait a minute or two. I’ll let it sit for a while and try again.

      To be fair, I only find it needed on stuff above pla, and even then it’s often good enough to preheat first, changed my start gcodes around to preheat before mesh levelling.

      Not sure if creality has a macro to calibrate the z axis, totally possible there’s a bit of skew across the x gantry, running the z axis just past its max usually sorts it on my franken-prusa, trying to adjust bed levelling with skew is a mess and made it look like the entire bed was going downhill.
