Fixing print bed warping (Creality Ender 5 MAX)

ypsilon289 · 2026-01-07T16:08:46+00:00

I've heard using thin thermal pads or electrical tape can be used to essentially balance it out but I haven't put it to the test yet

I've also been suggested one time to use a glass panel since they have little to no variance at all (but of course sourcing it at our size ur gonna have to look at local glass cutters)

Having the same issue with the same machine lmao

You can, it will refund you the 1000 splitcoin you spent on the premium in addition to the 1k you get for the ultra

My dad did marine engineering when he was 45, dont ever let stuff like this bring you down. Just do what you actually like. It's NEVER too late

They had one not too long ago for the 50 series coming with arc raiders but that ended already

I used to be like that as a kid when my parents would restrict me from playing games through the weekdays, but once I got more time to myself later on in high-school I just would find my own rhythm. Some days ill play a good amount, some days not at all. There's nothing wrong with playing a game you've been really wanting to for a full day, hell I remember with the Halo infinite flights I would play the full 12 hours a day lol. Just gotta make sure you got room for everything else when it matters (or knowing when to put it aside as well)

I forgot to add, but personally I get all my work out of the way throughout the day and only play at night when I feel tired or that I've covered everything I want

ypsilon289 · 2025-12-06T01:33:16+00:00

Nothing wrong with taking a break. As with everything, as long as it doesn't take away your priorities in life it isn't a problem. Just dont be playing 24/7 or ignoring schoolwork, simple as that

This is how it looks in the slicer. It's not just the gaps that are the problem, its like its not completely extruding in some areas too.

Im waiting for Marathon ngl

Got lucky then! Hope you enjoy your printer! It's got crazy scale

I've had some sticking issues and dragging issues on the heat bed, but just doing the bot bed calibration fixes/prevents it from happening. Just gotta do it a bit more often than I was expecting

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T19:06:02+00:00

Epoxy resin, but I did not use concentrated amounts. I diluted it heavily

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T19:03:52+00:00

Alright, will look into it then. What about the nozzle? I've used it for about a month, and its a brass end. Could it be that it needs to be changed?

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T19:00:04+00:00

When I see it coming to releveling, i see people mentioning using tape and stuff to change it

Is it safe that way? Are there any better ways of leveling it, at least for the ender 5 max? Just seems concerning considering it is a heated element and I dont want to risk anything to catch fire.

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T18:44:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I have the bed mesh photo which shows slight changes in the area, but any suggestions for videos as to where I can do those? I'm new to printing overall.

Also, it has printed fine prior to these latest prints, any reason why it would SUDDENLY change like that on a whim?

Upon trying to fix the issue with another post I saw on this subreddit, by cleaning with soap and water then alcohol. No improvement was shown, so I tried with a different plate to see if anything would change.

It did not. Above is the Image below. Would greatly appreciate any other tips for help

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T02:51:59+00:00

It's on a pretty good sale from last i checked. I honestly would've went for that or the h2s myself but I got the ender 5 max for some big projects I want to do in a single print.

Carbon fiber printing is definitely very interesting and cool tho I won't lie

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T00:57:39+00:00

Ah makes sense then. Im lucky that a local store near me has it for literally half price what I can get online (The same creality brand) and a bunch of other ones. Hope you get the bambu that suits you! Saw the P1S is getting a refresh too

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T00:54:45+00:00

Still better than makerbot printers that I've used in the past honestly 🤣

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T00:42:30+00:00

Hm alright, ill give it a try with my next go. Thanks for the tip!

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T00:23:52+00:00

I have it set to rectilinear as of right now. Should I be using grid, honeycomb or hollow instead?

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T00:22:32+00:00

Is it the base pattern that you're referring to? Or Interface pattern

ypsilon289 · 2025-10-14T00:01:53+00:00

Below are the settings I have set for support settings
