I got tired of the paper method and adjusting the screws by the auto-leveling results as I could never get them to be consistent. Now I used mechanical level indicator and got these consistent values indicating that the bed is tilted to the right/left?

To my suprise it can actually print something like this but what would cause these values? My suspicion is that the Z axis is sagging but I would like to get some opinions before completely reassembling the printer.

Am I stupid? Tried leveling by hand and now I'm getting these weird results again as if the glass bed is higher in some spots..

I've never gotten these values to be close to each other (less than 0.5 difference)

edit: I don't get it.. the glass bed is perfectly level by itself. How can the printer read high spots on it?!
