Hey all,
I still use the TronXY firmware on my X5SA 330x330 CoreXY. I have NEVER been able to tram that bed with 6 set screws. So, I pulled half of them off to be able to get a real plane instead of a Ruffles potato chip surface.
Well, THAT didn't work well. When heated the 3mm bed warps up .3mm in the center compared to any of the tram screw locations. OK, so that explains the two middle set screws in an otherwise 4 adjustment bed; they are there to pull the middle down!
However, that still doesn't work very well - I am not ready to pull the controller and put a RepRrap controller on it, ditch the nifty touchscreen and all.
Yet.
So, how thick will I need to make this bed to keep it flat? Shockingly, my 3mm glass top for the bed deals with this warp without breaking.
Am I going to need to find a 330x330x6mm heat bed to get this to some reasonably controllable surface? I like having the large build volume, but I can rarely get a decent build from it. I realize that I am going down the "Cost Sunk" fallacy road here and I should just sell d*** thing for parts, but I'm stubborn and think that there HAS to be a way to make this a decent machine!
be well,
DLC
