V3.1 Rear Z Axis -- Sufficient to Just be Parallel?

I got my rear Z axis parallel to the two front ones pretty much dead on. But the entire bar is slightly closer to the left one than the right one. But undoing the screws to scooch it closer to the right one means I have to agonize over getting it parallel again. As I understand it though, as long as it's parallel, and it's close enough to the middle, it's fine. Because the build plate will just be rotated the faintest amount -- but since it is parallel it'll be consistent and won't matter. Is this correct?

If you mean the rear Z linear rail/extrusion is slightly too far left, you're likely correct that it doesn't matter since the bed position will make up for it You really just want to make sure your Z is only ever moving perpendicularly to your X/Y plane

Yeah. That seems like it'll be the case. It's just the entire "line" formed by the rear Z extrusion is slightly to the left. But otherwise perpendicular to the X/Y plane.

Yeah, then you should be fine... it'd just be like someone drilled the hole in the bed off slightly, no big deal

Cool, thanks. Am I able to edit the title of this post? It could be more clear for future referencing.
