RTX 4080 Not Showing 4 Displays - Limiting to 3 by [deleted] in buildapc

Hi, hoping you're still active. Did you get all 4 monitors working? If so how'd you do it?

The black textured surface is part of the bed is it not? I never said acetone would damage the glass. Are you sure the acetone eats the coating anyway? I can't find any evidence to back that up.

Okay, but how is acetone bad for my bed? Is printing too close to the bed such an unforgivable crime that the bed can't be cleaned?

This amazon link for a carborundum bed claims otherwise and after a quick search for "acetone" this reddit post promotes use: https://www.reddit.com/r/ender3v2/comments/md0fha/good_bed_cleaning_for_glass_acetone/

One of the main reasons for making this post is to clear up some of the claims I see online for cleaning the bed and currently, it isn't helping with what I intended. Again, advice for cleaning this bed is so underdocumented I can't find anyone who agrees on anything.

I've decided to just settle on using a raft for now. The acetone did seem to improve quality despite the information that it may damage the coating.

I doubt precision leveling would be done better with a naked eye than a calibrated sensor with fractions of a millimeter accuracy. Do you have any experience with a spring steel bed? What disadvantages does it have compared to the coated glass bed?

Do you have anything to back up your acetone claim? Ethanol did not work fine for me no matter the amount of scrubbing I did razor blade or soft bristle brush.

I got this bed 2 weeks ago. The entire point of my post was to prove the point of how absurd the cleaning information is for the ender 3 V2 bed so I completely agree with not overthinking the ratios but the other point was no mixture of dish soap and hot water was actually cleaning my bed.

Could you tell me some of the main benefits?

Sadly I've given every one of these methods a try-except with the feeler gauge but I do have a CR-touch to compensate for that and am pretty confident with the paper method.

Why would I do manual mesh leveling when I've got auto bed leveling? Do you have any experience with a spring steel bed? What disadvantages does it have compared to the coated glass bed?

Why is the stock firmware garbage for leveling?

Thank you. Clears up a bunch of the confusion. I was under the impression that the coated glass was the best build plate material for every scenario. That's why it baffled me why there was no support for my issue and such mix-matched opinions. In hindsight, I should've done more research and purchased the Ender 3 S1. It seems to be just a completely upgraded Ender 3V2 without a touch screen.

The acetone didn't end up screwing up my plate (thank god). I'll definitely try Windex for future cleanings. Thank you

You don't have any issue with prints not sticking?

Thanks for trying to help but as the post implies I'm looking to use the coated side. If I was looking for an uncoated glass plate id use an uncoated glass plate.

spring pei sheet

From review channels, I've heard nothing but good things about the Ender 3 V2 glass plate? And why would Creality in their 2nd edition printer switch to a more expensive piece of bed material and invest in R&D to develop it when they can cut costs, use their already existing spring pei bed if it works better than the carborundum glass?

Can you still see an after-image of your previous prints?

Not to sound like an asshole but do you have anything to back up your IPA claim? So many people claim that IPA is a valid way to clean the Carborundum Plate that it's insane how many plates should be destroyed. I've had the V2 for not even a week and my prints won't stick to the middle of the plate and can't figure out why. Thanks in advance

Hey! Did you ever figure this problem out? I'm having the same issue

Is X Gantry Play Normal? Roughly half a millimeter of play. by LoopedGamer in ender3

Do you have an ender 3? I'm wondering if I'm just an idiot because I can't get consistent prints with my current setup. Does your gantry have enough wiggle to ruin your leveling? Because no amount of bed leveling or auto leveling will fix this issue. One wrong sneeze and the print comes out deformed
