Is this beyond the pale? Recently got a Neptune 3 pro and have been having issues. Anyone have some tips? Is this resolvable? Can a bed for these be replaced?

I uncommented the Gcode line to use this matrix now which I didn't before. But still having a lot on inconsistencies.

Not saying this is great advice but I had to pull up on one side of my Neptune plus in order to kinda bend it to the point where it was flat. It seemed like the bottom left had gotten bent downward to a point that I couldn’t fix it with leveling

I did the same thing. I have a Neptune 3 pro. The front goes up a touch and the back goes down about half a mm. I just pushed down on the front and pulled up on the back edge a bit to attempt at least a bit of correction. Seems to have helped a little bit. I've been considering printing some soft jaws for my vice and trying to tweak it a smidge more.

Definitely need to be careful doing this or the bed or heating elements can be damaged irreparably. Damaged heating elements are potentially dangerous.
