Word of warning to those with Prusa MK4 and Satin beds. There is a chance that the auto bed leveler will mess up and destroy your print surface. (lemmy.world)

I've tried to report the issue to Prusa support but they keeps trying to diagnose it as user error. But at this point I'm at a loss and presume that it's either a firmware issue or a sensor issue on my unit.

Either way im very disappointed.

And before you ask, this is the opposite side

EDIT: I will note that this print sheet is ruined for my use case, since those patterns will be shown on the underside of my prints. But the print surface still works and can be used without issue... if you ignore the gouges that are being detailed into every print.

I'd just shove some wood filler in the gaps to at least have a smooth floor even if it doesn't look great. I feel like I'd stub my toes on that shit all the time.

I use some wood filament pla and custom print filler blocks 😉

What op should do is tap/slide the boards all to one end so the gaps all come together as one big gap at the less important side of the room. Maybe there's a bookcase or tv against that wall so they don't step there.

And nail on small nail in the end board to keep it in place

With gaps like that, it will be easier to use wood to fill them.

Those look like pretty big gaps, close to 1" on the biggest. That's gonna take a whole of woodfiller.

No don't. My parents house came like that when they bought it when I was like 14. The panels continue to slide and crush the filler into dust and the ends also get mashed and delayered. Sometimes big chunks came out to be stepped on like Legos already have the job of doing.
