Maker select leveling issues

When I try to level my print bed, I end up with the lower left and upper right corners backed all the way out, and the bottom right corner squashed all the way in as far as it can possibly go. I’ve had my base plate off to make sure it isn’t warped, and it is fine. I also loosened and tightened my Y rods to try and make sure they are straight. My Z axis is also straight. Whether I have the heat bed mounted or not, the bottom left corner of the plate is 1.5mm above the edge of the frame, and the bottom right is 3.9mm. I checked the plate with a ruler, and it doesn’t look like it’s permanently warped. It’s just sitting crooked enough that I can’t get my bed leveled. Hopefully you can tell by this photo.I tried adding washers under the springs of the corners that are backed out and that helped me get it level, but then the top right corner of the plate was flexed downwards, causing it to crash into the frame when I tried to home Y.The crazy thing is the problem actually got worse over time. I’ve done several nice prints off of this thing, but the last time I tried, it was so bad that I couldn’t home with the print bed on it. If I force it level with washers, there’s too much tension on the plate and it bends and hits the frame. I thought about adding washers under the plate, between it and the bearing blocks, in order to get the plate itself level, but I feel like I might be overlooking something. Any ideas? http://ift.tt/28UIGcd
