In the head to linear rail dimension (Factory 178, Actual 176)... The classic operator error...  Thanks carl_m1968

I did the adjustments. I adjusted the bed level to the head, then moved to the adjusters.. but the center moved up also..  I can see the head move closer to the bed as I near 0,0..  then lift(?) off the bed as it heads to the other side..


Then your rod lengths are wrong or your data for rod length and effector distance from tower is wrong in the firmware. The head should move level at all times you will see the slider move down on one side while the other moves up to keep the head level across the bed.

The using the jog controls move the head towards each adjuster using a combination of x and y moves. Once the head is near the adjuster, adjust that spot. Then repeat with the other two. Once done with all three move back to center and verify if still level. If not move each adjuster the same amount to bring the center to be level.

Thanks in advance
