Having trouble printing towards the edge of the bed
Having trouble printing towards the edge of the bed
I printed the attached polar coordinate grid. Most of the print was pretty great (I'm not worried about the little defects) but the inset detail image shows my issue: Between the Z and the Y towers at the edge of the bed, the hot end doesn't appear to be able to reach the bed for the lowest layers. At a certain height, it rights itself, but the bottom layers are very inaccurate. It's not a big deal for me most of the time but I was excited to get a MAX V2 because of how huge it could print. Have any idea on fixing this issue? Should I tighten the belts or carriages or something?

I would say the built plate or melamine or ONYX ROUND PCB HEATED BED has a bit of a bump or depression in that area. Also print real slow when you get that far out.

Join the club, you are in good company. The ability to print out in the delta boondocks requires meticulous mechanical build and very good delta calibration. I doubt it you have a planarity problem with your bed - it's easy to check with a straightedge and flashlight. This is a very common thing and it can be corrected if you persevere. In your case, it looks like you have an issue between the towers usually caused by tilt or twist of the opposite tower.
