Bed Leveling Failed. Sensor didnt trigger
My printer Prusa i3 mk2 says bed leveling failed. Sensor didn't trigger. Debris on nozzle? I took any debri off the tip of the nozzle and I still get this error. I haven't used it a while. What do I need to do? How do you do a thorough nozzle cleaning? Thank you.

Re: Bed Leveling Failed. Sensor didnt trigger
there is an endstop test option in the lcd menu's select this and you should see the status of X, Y and Z endstops
with the extruder above 10mm
the pinda red light should be on, if you move a piece of metal to the tip of the pinda, the led should go dark, and the Z endstop value should change
if this doesn't happen, your pinda may be faulty... most common fault is wire fatigue due to the cable flexing.
my wires broke on the mk3 behind the X carriage...
spoke to prusa, my printer was in warranty period, they sent a replacement.
my wires broke on the mk2 outside warranty, so I patched out the suspect cable section behind the X axis, and it's working now

The PINDA is the bed level sensor. It is the circled part in the below picture.
Re: Bed Leveling Failed. Sensor didnt trigger
How can I lower the PINDA? I am trying to calibrate and the paper gets caught. I can't seem to find instructions on what to do exactly. The light turns off when i hold a spatula underneath it. but it won't stop for the paper at all. (I have a factory made mk3)
