    A lot of the question of the manually leveling the bed has to do with how it's attached to the printer. If it has leveling knobs, then yes, I'll do manual leveling in addition to working with the ABL. If it doesn't I'm kind of stuck with whatever the ABL can work out.

    If you haven't run into it yet, my experience with Creality spring steel beds has been that the pei sheet all too often hangs onto the print a lot more than you would like. Mostly that means it starts peeling off the spring steel. Microcenter carries a BIQI textured springsteel plate that works great in place of the Creality one, and seems (to me anyway) to be a more durable surface, and it does release the print once it's cooled down. The bed seems to be pretty much the same one that Bambu Labs printers are using, and I've had pretty good luck with those as well.

    I have the Ender 5 and was very impressed with everything except the auto leveling. It didn't work at all as per the instructions and after patterning all over the board it was happy, only to completely melt and gouge the board on the first print. Watching you go through the leveling was a little triggering :) I found a YT video that helped a lot more than the manual but did have to get some replacement boards from AliExpress. It's all fine now and is an amazing printer. Just the auto leveling... there's nothing 'auto' about it.

  • @Level2Jeff

    its good to check the manual levelling first, the usual piece of paper under the nozzle, and adjust the manual underneath levelling knobs, then any general zaxis adjustment. after that, the autolevelling allows for variations of flatness of the bed. the printer looks very similar to my elegoo neptune4, (albeit that has touch screen), and initial manual levelling took me a while as well, as the documentation wasn't as clear as I would like. You can also compensate for a slightly bulging first layer using slicer settings. On Ultimaker Cura it's called "initial layer horizontal expansion" (i've also seen it called elephants feet)

    To answer you question about bed leveling.. in my experience for best results you want to have it as level as possible before using BL touch.. since that only does it's best to compensate for inperfections I use klipper with my Ender3v2.. with "screws tilt calculate" it will tell me exactly how to turn screws to level my bed.. and it can do sooo many other things as well
