Nozzle not low Enough to Reach Print Bed

I got a new Prusa mini original a few weeks ago, and I immediately ran into a problem while calibrating the printer; the nozzle couldn't reach the print bed, even at the furthest down it could go. I can still print stuff, but I have to apply copious amounts of glue, and the first few layers are always pretty bad. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

RE: Nozzle not low Enough to Reach Print Bed

Go back and check your assembly.  What you're saying is practically impossible.  The Y-Axis motor screw would allow the entire X-Axis gantry to lay upon the bed and the nozzle is at least 10mm below the gantry.

Upload photos to show us what you're talking about.

Is your live Z maxed out at -2? If that's it, then you need to move your PINDA up and calibrate again.
