KE Bed mesh not compensating

KE Bed mesh not compensating

My ender 3 v3 ke has this bed mesh. It didn't used to matter.

It was fine until a few days ago. The z offset was off by about 0.04mm and I would lower it and the first layer was absolutely perfect. But then it just wasn't.

Now parts of the first layer are perfect and other parts have gaps in them. I cant lower the z offset anymore or it will squish the good parts.

No matter what I do it just does not seem to compensate for it.

I've fixed the gantry(it was of by about 1.5mm).

Does anyone know just what is going on ? I didn't change anything from stock, why did the printer change like this with no reason ?

Need some advice

Hey guys.

I need some advice.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Sometimes my print come out very well like the first and second picture.

But then other times they come out warped, wavy and inconsistent like the third picture.

What am I doing wrong? Any way to make the printer more consistent?

Weird bed leveling problem ?

Hey guys.

I've been having this odd bed leveling problem.

As you can see from the pictures.

The first picture is the printer's auto leveling.

The second one is after i adjusted the z comp manually. But even after manually lowering z axis, as you can see, some parts of the print bed is good but others are not. If I lower it any more, the nozzle will scrape against the print bed.

I clean the bed after every print and I've tried with multiple different filaments.

Any Idea what I should do to fix it ?

Overhangs look bad

Hi everyone.

I'm quite new to 3d printing. I've had my ender 3 v3 ke for less than a month now and everything is working well except these weird looking overhangs.

As you can see the print looks good. But as soon as you look under the chin where overhangs are, you can see the bad lines of the overhang.

By the way I'm using tree supports(slim) and 1.4 layer height. I've also used variable layer height in some places to make it smoother.

Anyone have any tips on how to improve them ?
