I've just repeated my "bed map" with the DTI:
-3 18 22 0
14 37 40 12
18
0 12 28 4 (all in 1/100th mm)
(where there are more than 3 measurements in a line, that's the approx location of the max value)
Which implies I have roughly 0.2mm in the X rails, and 0.2mm / 0.3mm in the Y
It's quite possible that I can easily sort the X rails by loosening the rail mounts and seeing if the rails themselves deflect upwards when not held down (which would imply a bend in the right direction when tight). That I can fix by mending the mounts gently to eliminate nearly all the deflection. The Y rails are mounted differently, so I may leave them alone unless I have to.
But that's a job for tomorrow!

So I thought about this, first, there's how flat is the bed? Then, does it move, ( yes, it's heated, it moves, but likely not "that much" ) then how straight are your rails and ...
Then I thought "this is what software compensation is for". You should be repeatable, the loads don't change that much, ( and the measurements are the same coming from either direction? your Z axis acts nice? - Hmm, another potential can of worms, there's likely some "shimmy" with Z motion that affects all 3 dimensions. )
Have fun,
Oh, occurs to me, if the bed isn't flat, a 4mm sheet of AL. would be easy to scrape in. ( But that's the machinist cutting back in. )

Wow, that is really neat!

After the holidays it feels extremely difficult to get back to work. How do you motivate yourself to get back in?

By looking at the bank balance.

On the same boat.

You got a boat! Just retire and go exploring now.

They say that the happiest days of boat ownership are the day you buy it ... and the day you sell it.

not just the bank balance, the other one also.
I'd rather be phishing!

Well I got paid 2 days ago... so I just stare at my bank account for a few minutes until I remember why I need to work to earn money.
After that I am fully motivated and get straight on with... reading posts on here

It is often a tough choice between kids and co-workers.

Easy. I just open the lid of my laptop, which is always in front of me.

I owe, I owe, so off to work I go
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Finally ... continuing all the challenging (and terribly relevant) stuff that was suddenly abandoned a few days ago , and, I admit, being rewarded for the efforts ...

Just forget about it and do what I have to do.
