    I have been having some issue with print quality on one section of my prints. You will see in the video that the right side of the print has major quality issues while the left side seems just fine. I have tried leveling the bed to no avail and still having issues. This started happening after I replaced my heatbed with the v2 heat bed. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I would really like to get back to printing but this has been of course hindering that. Thanks for the help in advance.

    You need to shim the bed. First check that the magnets are both attached to the bed correctly and they are well seated into the matching magnets on the rail ends. If they are then use paper shims (between the glass and the rail ends) to raise the low side. You can put the paper shims from a hole punch between the magnets if you do not need a large amount of shim and it does not appear you need much. The procedure is going to be:
    (1) Add a paper shim
    (2) reprint the test 1-layer print
    (3) go back to 1 if needed.

    You can use anything rather than paper too, but very thin material is best and you do not want to use something that will disable the magnet if you are putting the shims directly between the magnets.
