@geekgeek4 The problem you are facing is not the G30 or manual leveling procedure, but most logically a mechanical issue. I'm not here to speak evil of the Ender design because it can work well when properly set up and tuned, but the design can lead to frustrations for new users when it does not perform up to par. P.S. note that comments are not here to last forever, you might see them disappear after a while when comments are addressed in the Q and A's. :-)

Even with a 3DTouch, bed leveling needs to be done manually, I never use G30 or have used the past 6 years, instead I do a G28, lower the head to paper thickness between nozzle and bed, than de-power the steppers and manually tram the bed everywhere (corners and middle of the bed) so that it is as level as possible (note to use G28, move to a corner, move down and de-power multiple times). This ensures that the bed is in the same plane as the nozzle, unless the bed is really skew/bent this should work. When done you only have to set the correct Z offset and add G29 to the start G-code.

I noticed that even when I use my G30 approach, I seem to still end up with a slanted bed. Is there some flaw to the G30 approach? I tried searching for it online, but I pretty much found nothing about using G30 to manually adjust the knobs. But I thought it would be far more scientific and precise than the paper method. | |
