XYZ Calibration: Front points not reachable

I finished assembling my kit last night, and ran the calibration, and got the error that the front points are not reachable. As per the guide, I attempted moving the Z-Frame "away" (which I interpreted as moving the frame towards the power supply). Re-ran, same issue. It was late, I went to bed. Doing some research today while at work and found a blog entry (Here) where they moved it "towards" (which I am reading as moving the frame in the direction of the LCD). Can someone shed some light as to the proper direction to move the frame to properly adjust for this error, using a static part (such as I have in my description).

Thanks!

Probably "towards". At least 100mm from rear Y holders and frame. Unscrew the PSU Y-bracket screws when doing adjustments.

Follow this guide:

I found I had a combo of issues. First, and foremost, was PINDA probe height (seemed it was too high). I lowered that down, reset my Y axis to the 100mm recommendation (from lock-nut washer to edge of orange printed leg) using my calipers. Re-ran the calibration and came back ok (x/y slightly skewed, but I'll tweak that later).

Now attempting to adjust nozzle height (if there are any nice tips for this, by all means pass them along).

Print the Prusa logo, and while printing you can adjust your Live Z Values until it looks good. If you need more time for adjustment turn down the speed to 20% or so as soon as it starts printing.

Your Live Z Adjust values should be between -0.400 to -0.100

Take a photo of your first layer and upload here if possible.

I think I have it very good. See photo.

If you see any issues, or have suggestions, I'd love them!
