Anycubic Kobra 2 Max - Left side too high, right side too low, center perfect. I’m running out of ideas.
• Anycubic Kobra 2 Max
• PLA
• Anycubic slicer
• Bed heated during leveling and printing
• Auto Level and system calibration performed multiple times.
My first layer is inconsistent across the bed.
Left side = nozzle too far from the bed (poor adhesion)
Center = almost perfect
Right side = nozzle too close (over-squished)
The center of the bed prints beautifully, but the left and right don’t match.
The issue causes small parts to fail. In the fishing lure print I’m attaching, one or two pieces eventually come loose, get caught by the nozzle, and ruin the entire print.
Things I’ve already tried
Rotated the PEI sheet 180° (problem stayed in the exact same location)
Multiple Auto Levels
Multiple Position Calibrations
Re-dialed Z-offset many times
Heated the printer before leveling
Checked that the print head returns to the same resting position
Checked for obvious bed wobble
Measured the X-gantry and found it was slightly out of sync
Removed the top synchronization belt and adjusted the gantry to make both sides more even
Re-ran Position Calibration and Auto Level afterward
Adjusting the gantry did improve the first-layer test, but it still isn’t consistent enough to reliably print multiple small parts.
My question
Has anyone had this exact issue on a Kobra 2 Max?
Does this look like:
X-gantry still out of sync?
LeviQ mesh/probe issue?
Bed carriage or eccentric wheel problem?
Calibration module issue?
Something else?
I’m trying to figure out what to inspect next instead of randomly adjusting parts.
Thanks in advance—I’m open to any ideas.
