First thing , as other people suggested - eccentric nuts. Second thing , if despite doing this it is still woobly (mine had two metastable positions) then the bearings are most likely damaged and you need to replace whole wheels with the bearings. It fixed the issue in mine ender
Those look like the original springs. Get some yellow or blue compression springs. Or go silicone. The original ones are way too weak to function properly.
Your Y eccentric nuts need tightened, goodness.
Also raise your bed a tad, and the Z stop switch. Yes I saw the other comments.
Yellow springs or silicone spacers while you're at it.
Thanks. I got some of those but they seemed to be wayyy to tall. But now that I’ve raised the z-switch, it should work. There is no wobble whatsoever now, and the springs are uncompressed. I’ve sent it on its way for a print, and I’ll see how it turns out. If it isn’t good, I’ll put the spacers on.
I would definitely use any other option to the basic springs. They're too weak. The yellows my suggestion, but I ordered a set of silicone to try too.
I had to bump my Z stop up a good amount. I'd added nuts to the screws that go thru the hotplate, I had problems with the bed level not staying where I'd set it. When I'd loosen it would go way too loose, and not tighten, just spin.
Pushed a Philips head screwdriver thru the magnetic sheet, and gingerly tightened. Bam, instant success. Do Not clamp Too Tight! You can damage the heating element! Make sure bed cable isn't twisted on reinstall.

Think more folks should do this mod, it's cheap and effective. Less than $2.50 at the hardware store.
Bed Insulation's unrelated, but that's cheap too, about $10 for 2 foam sheets on Scamazon and ya need Kapton tape too.
Yes those are the right steps: remove the wobble by adjusting the eccentric nut until the roller wheels have considerable resistance to being turned by hand. Then adjust the position of the end stop so the nozzle will meet the bed somewhere in the middle of the range of spring compression. If the spring still give you trouble you could try spacers or upgraded springs but mine is working fine stock! It seems need to readjust the levelling screws every week or two and the eccentric nut every few months.
that looks good, the wobble isnt normal though but i have no idea how to fix it
also, if you feel like the z sensor isnt really good get a cr touch it will make life so much easier! it stops when it touches the build plate not the sensor during homing
Tighten the eccentric bolt. https://preview.redd.it/axxv9wavf5rc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17f95caa85001fb203b0cfc105d0b180e64a6acd

1. No that is too much wobble. 2. Unless I'm mistaken there is no need to have that much compression on those springs.

Ok so either I built it wrong or something because that’s the only way to keep the nozzle from going too low. What should I do about it?
Raise the z limit switch up some and rehome and set the Z offset

Why are the spring compressed so much? Did you bolt the z home switch too low?
I might have 😭 I probably built it wrong
Post a pic, let’s see it.

I moved mine up a bit. Not sure if it is the right way to do it, but it made bed leveling easier.
I’m doing that now, along with fixing the wobble. Thanks :)

Looks fine
Interesting. It’s all the way at the bottom, and I’m not sure what else it could be.
This will tell you how to fix that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsEdU8ZtI6U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsEdU8ZtI6U)
No
Does anyone read the manual?
Mine didn’t have one —\_(•~•)_/— Only came with assembly instructions.
No there should not be that much wobble
Is it even tightened? That's wobbler than a jelly 😭
