I have a Reprap Prusa i3 rework, and it used to be easy to level, but nowdays, when i tighten corner, the other corner goes up. I just spent 30 minutes trying to level it. i got every corner perfectly level about 10 times, and while i did that the other sides of the heatbed would change by 2-3 millimeters.
The acrylic base of the heatbed, under the screws, seems to be a little bent and convex, is that possible it's even insulated with foam from the heatbed?
all the bolts of the RepRap are tight and i couldnt find anything loose. It just seems to be seesawing around over the center. i can't find the error.

If the acrylic frame is warped it's going to be hard to level. You probably need to pull the frame and check to see if it has warped. I'm changing mine over to plywood and eventually aluminum.
