Help with Ender 3 S1 Pro

    Anyone any experience with these printers?

    I'm following the online tutorial which basically involves:

    Manually leveling the 4 corners using the bed adjustment wheels.

    You then set the z offset for the centre point to bring nozzle to 0.1mm from bed.

    Last step is to run the auto bed leveling, which builds a mesh

    I've done the above several times, but my prints are still crap. Nozzle seems to be an inconsistent amount from bed, resulting in PLA not sticking or being mashed on as it's too close

    Appreciate if anyone can help.

    Ender 3 Pro here myself, in the EXACT same situation as you

    Haven't been able to get a working print whatsoever despite constant bed leveling, test prints, even got a glass bed, silicon springs, and a CR Touch and I'm still fucked

    At this stage I'll pay someone to look at this thing for me

    So the solution for me:

    Manually level the bed as good as you can on all 4 corners, twice.

    Then adjust the z offset on the middle point until it pinches the paper.

    Now run the auto leveling

    In your slicing software add the gcode to use the mesh generated by the auto leveling

    Clean bed with fairy liquid.

    Preheat for your material.

    Wipe bed down while hot with meths or some alcohol cleaner. Get Pritt stick, apply it to the print area, go over twice.

    Start print

    I think the glue stick was basically the thing that did it.

    Note I don't manually level or auto level the bed each time, I only did this once and I've done 20+ prints without having to do that.

    Hope this helps you
