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.

At this point it's not like even if I did capture it, I'd get a new print sheet. I've just switch to G10/Garolite. Had good results with it before, but switch to Satin since I wanted a print bed for both PLA and PETG that didn't destroy the Print Bed.

Are you turning off the magnetic ABL, or using it through the garolite?

MK4 uses the nozzle's pressure sensor to level, no magnets from what I can tell.

Ah thanks, sorry, I was thinking of my MK3.
