<p>As you can see in the picture, my heated bed support is too low on the right side, even touching the Y-axis chassis end plate. </p>

Has it always been warped, or has it only happened recently? How old is the printer? What material is the heated bed support made from? Acrylic, MDF, Aluminium, Steel?

It was not warped as I know and it's getting more and more to the point that it starts to hit the chassis on the front. The printer is exactly 1 year old and the heat bed support is made of aluminium.

I just checked mine.  It's only 2 weeks old and it has this same problem.  It's not hitting, but it is bent like this.

I sort of fixed it by adding another linear ball-bearing and bearing-holder to the y-axis on the position where the support bent down. This works without screws because the support presses down at that point.
