Hey guys, just got my full kit and ran into a little problem in build phase 2. Yes, really.

I suspect that the table base needs to be entirely level and stable. My problem is, that one of the reinforcing plates to be fitted in phase 2 has some very slight warp of about half to one millimeter. The lower edge is not straight but concave. I suspect it got dinged in transport.

Now as soon as I fit the plate the table is of course no longer stable, but wobbly. This is not remedied when screwing it to the table base.

Should I get it replaced or does this not matter in the end?

The bed must be flat at all times otherwise you wont be able to set it up properly at the stage where your setting the print nozzle height. I would order a replacement part.
