My MK3 seems to be low in the middle when hot. Did anyone experience this and how did you fix it? I'm thinking of pulling it off and supporting the corners upside down and pressing on the middle. Any other suggestions on how to fix.

I think mine is high in the middle. I clip window glass to the bed. Builtak stuck to the glass. It is very flat.

I'm not sure about the heating time... I never printed direct. The first thing I did was adjust the power supply to max output. Made a huge difference in heating times.

I just adjusted the power supplie to 14v. I think it is a big help in heating times.
I did not have to use a spacer for the end stop? Maybe post a photo?

So, my build plate was always a little "off" in the front right corner (a tad low there), but for the most part was quite flat. I just quickly learned to avoid the problem area. Recently I started having some first layer adhesion issues and was wondering if my Buildtak was just wearing out already??? I went ahead and replaced it and am still having significant problems. After much tinkering and trying to re-level it, it seems as if the aluminum plate is starting to warp. Anyone else having warping issues after a couple months of printing?
