  • This is a flashforge creator pro 2 (in original comment). I’m not sure how to characterize the distortion, but the standard leveling routine puts the extruder in 3 locations near the screw adjustment. After adjusting spacing with a sheet of paper (included, calibrated thickness), it puts the extruder down on the center. The center is always higher than the 3 calibration points, often significantly.


  • I have both problems in different locations in the same test print first layer (see the second photo I posted).

    What I’m concluding is that when the calibration locations (front center, left/right rear) are level at the ideal height, the center of the build plate is too high. This is either due to convexity of the build plate OR droop of the extruder due to very slight bending of the beam it travels on. I don’t know how to fix either of these problems.
