· UM3E - Tilted bed creates extrusion problems.
The autoleveling unfortunately only compensates for a tilted plane. It doesn't do 9 point leveling and compensate "U" shapes.
I had the same problem and fixed it by bending up the rear 2 corners (with the glass off). In addition most tempered glass is taller in the center (thicker). But by bending up my aluminum plate I fixed the issue. But if you bend it too much you will crack the trace on the heated bed and that's a problem.
There were several non-flat glass plates - I would simply ask your distributor for a flatter one than the one you already have. You won't even have any down time.
Or alternatively put a washer between the glass and the bed in the far right corner.

Better late than never, but thanks for the answer. I contacted the reseller and, after an exchange of mails and pictures, they agreed that the plate was non-flat and replaced it with a much flatter one.
