I can still print ok, it's just a concern about not knowing what I don't know.

Anyone else notice this? Or has anyone found a good solution to reinforce the arms and/or bed platform?

Also, for what it's worth, it seems the stock aluminum platform is not flat. I'm not surprised since its just aluminum sheet and not milled plate/billet. I installed a glass platform last night and I could just get my 0.003" feeler gauge between the glass and the stock aluminum bed.

Then to top that off, it appears that the print head must sag slightly in the middle of the print bed. I'm assuming the glass is "perfectly" flat and I noticed that after leveling at the 4 locations, when the machine does the check in the center, it is a bit tighter.
My plate is not flat either, and it's getting worse.

Unfortunately I went to order a new hotbed and glass plate for $58, but they wanted $140 total for delivery...

Let's just say I'll stick with a warped plate for now
