I was having serious leveling issues with my Ender 3v3 (https://programming.dev/post/42345126), and I tried so many different things like probe calibration and even total factory reset before I finally figured out what the issue was. The z axis camera mount that I added. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6702771. Taking it off fixed the bed leveling issues right away, and after wasting half a spool, I’m finally able to print my rookie designs. Thanks for all your help and advice! I’m so happy to see such an active 3d printing community on lemmy.

    Yeah. You want to avoid adding any unnecessary weight to the Z axis gantry, especially if it isn’t balanced and even more especially if it’s on a freaking lever!

      I love the idea though. Hopefully there’s an actual camera mount for Ender 3 V3 along z axis that doesn’t have this issue.

    Yeah I discovered this when I went to print a frame stiffener mod and only had the parts to install half of it… was utterly confused as to why the prints were failing, then realised that what was happening.
