Hi All, so I am having an issue with my bed, it just isn’t flat, if I run ABL it shows that 1 side of my bed is 0.39 mm higher than the other which is a big deviation and is just making it in possible to print. I am not sure why its like this, has anyone had any similar issues? Is it the MIC 6 bed, do I have one Z stepper moving faster than the other? Is something warped? Any help would be great as currently I am out of ideas!

I'm having bed leveling issues as well.
I purchased an assembled printer.
Almost 2mm from 0/0 to 0/300.
I have attempted to correct with spacers, but it won't work.
The values change, but the skew amount does not.
Has anyone had any communication with Makertech at all on any issue?
@Dries Douterloigne wow, that is neat! I haven't seen that sorta thing outside of a Duet 3D board... If you do something with this, please share your findings! I would be very interested in this.
Just found out bigtreetech offers an expansion board that would work with the skr 2. And price is not that high https://www.biqu.equipment/products/btt-rrf-wifi-v1-0-module-driver-expansion-module-for-skr-v1-4-1-4-turbo-skr-v1-3-3d-printer-part
Would antibacklash nut help for this?
Very cool build! Thanks for sharing your mod! I wasn't really sure what was happening until I looked at the pictures of the Make...
Does the height of the box affect how far down the bed can go? (I haven't finished building my PF3 yet...)
I had 1.5mm deviation... And yes, the MIC-6 plays a huge role in that since the steppers can't support the weight when not powered. I designed a Z-axis synchronisation if you want to get rid of that issue :)
Until then you have to manually move one of the steppers to get it leveled or get another driver and run one of the z-steppers with the leftover extruder outlet on your mainboard. With that you could level the bed tilt but it'll cost you the ability to use the switching hotend.
