The solution was actually extremely simple and it shouldn’t void your warranty. I 3D printed 3 rings and used double sided tape to fix them to the bottom of the print plate. They fit perfectly over the magnets with no play and are not a tight fit. Since doing this, I get perfect prints even on tall objects.
