It the bed actually wobbling or is it just not flat or not level. If it's wobbling the cause is not the single beam but something loose, probably the eccentric nuts on the Y axis rollers.

The bed is level, the problem is that the wheels on the rail are a bit too far apart. How do i fix this?

Two of the wheels have an adjustable eccentric nut between the bed carriage and the wheels. They are hexagonal, so you can use the spanner included with the printer to turn them - tighten them just enough to stop the wobble; none of the wheels should be able to turn freely without moving the bed. You may need to re-level the bed afterwards.

# Bed wobbling on Ender 3

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-08-05)

I have an Ender 3 3d printer. It has a bed that wobbles because it came with only 1 bed support beam.

[![Ender 3 bed plate support](https://i.sstatic.net/KJKL6.jpg "Ender 3 bed plate support")](https://i.sstatic.net/KJKL6.jpg "Ender 3 bed plate support")

Every model I print, I must print vertically, because the closer it gets to the edges of the build plate, the less adhesion it has.

Is there anything I can to to fix this problem?

If the V roller wheels aren't tight on the Y axis beam, it means the eccentric nuts are not adjusted correctly.
