Just finished assembling prusa

Hi, I just finished assembling the prusa i3 mk2 kit and im having problem calibrating xyz. I did the selftest first and everything was Ok. Now I tried to do the xyz calibration and and nozzle is leaving scratches on the table so I have to stop the calibration. I'm leaving a piece of paper on the table now while its calibrating still the same thing is happening.

Re: Just finished assembling prusa

make sure that both 10mm threaded rods are resting in the very bottom of the cutouts in the main frame, and that both sides of the X axis assembly bump into the top of the Z axis at the beginning of XYZ calibration.

consider lowering the pinda probe a little to ensure that the nozzle doesn't contact the heat bed during calibration.

then try again.

Okay I solved this by switching from silent mode to high power mode and managed to finish xyz calibration without having to stop it.
but received the error
XYZ calibration compromised. Left front calibration point not reachable..Severely skewed

also lowered the probe like you said, do I keep it like that or raise it back up for printing?

That "severely skewed" message means that your frame is not aligned.
