6.3.5.1 Calibrate XYZ e
rror messages and resolution
(kit only)
1)
XYZ calibration failed. Bed calibration point was not found.
The calibration routine did not find a bed sensor point. The printer stops close to the
bed point, which it failed to detect. Please verify that the printer is assembled
correctly, that all axes move freely, the pulleys do not slip, and the print nozzle is
clean. If everything looks good, re-run the X/Y calibration and verify, with a sheet of
paper between the nozzle and the print bed, that the print nozzle does not touch the
print bed during the calibration routine. If you feel friction of the nozzle against the
sheet of paper and the nozzle is clean, you need to screw the SuperPINDA probe
slightly lower and re-run the X/Y calibration.
2)
XYZ calibration failed. Please consult the manual.
The calibration points were found in positions far from what should be expected from
a properly assembled printer. Please follow the instructions of case 1).
3)
XYZ calibration ok. X/Y axes are perpendicular. Congratulations!
Congratulations, you built your printer precisely; your X/Y axes are perpendicular.
4)
XYZ calibration all right. X/Y axes are slightly skewed. Good job!
Good job, the X/Y axes are not precisely perpendicular, but still quite all right. The
firmware will correct for the X/Y skew during normal printing, so boxes will be printed
with right angles.
5)
XYZ calibration all right. A skew will be corrected automatically.
The firmware will correct the skew during normal printing and as long as the X and Y
axes move freely, the printer will print correctly. You may want to consider revisiting
the assembly guide and try to re-align the X/Y axes.
During the mesh bed leveling procedure, the following errors may be reported on the display.
1)
Bed leveling failed. Sensor disconnected or cable broken. Waiting for reset.
Verify, whether the SuperPINDA probe cable is plugged into the EINSY RAMBo
board correctly. If that is the case, the SuperPINDA probe is broken, and it needs to
be replaced.
2)
Bed leveling failed. Sensor didn’t trigger. Debris on nozzle? Waiting for reset.
This is a safety check to avoid crashing the nozzle into the print bed if the
SuperPINDA sensor stops working or something goes wrong with the printer
mechanics (for example, a pulley slips). This safety check may also be triggered if
the printer has been moved to an uneven surface. Before doing anything else, make
the Z-axis level by going all the way up and try again.
At the end of the X/Y calibration, the printer measures the reference height above
each of the 9 bed sensor points and stores the reference heights in non-volatile
