Calibration issues

I have a MK2S thats been working great.  decided to replace the heat sink and took the extruder apart all replaced no issues with heating.  Heres what does work:

Self Test:  Passes

Z Calibration works fine.

I've checked my Pinda Probe and it lights up and does acknowledge a metal object underneath it.  The Pinda probe is now lowered to almost the same level as my nozzle, not sure I could lower it anymore.

i'm updated to current firmware

problem comes when I try to do XYZ Calibration it gives me an error and says "Bed calibration point not found"  and the extruder nozzle is about 1/4" from the bed.

Any thoughts?  I've been google searching and nothing really helpful.

RE: Calibration issues

Have you done a factory reset since the rebuild?

Cheerio,

Just did factory reset.  Auto home worked.  The xyz calibration stops about 1/4 inch from the bed and after about 2 back and forth ot stops and gives the same error.

FYI.  The self test passes.  The z calibration passes, the mesh bed leveling passes.  Its just the xyz calibration that fails on step 1 of 4.  

 

Ughhhhh.  Frustrated,  everything was fine until I replaced parts of the extruder.

OK, this is out of my area; I suggest you contact Prusa support.

Log into your shop account, navigate to support and raise a chat session; that's bottom right in most browsers.

Cheerio,

Contacted support and all worked.  Now it's a different problem.  

During xyz calibration  it locates point 1 amd goes back and forth to fine tune it. 

Then it barely goes over point 2 and immediately moves to point 3.  

I know the pinda works, I can move the extruder around the bed and the light goes out at all 9 points.  

I'm at a loss as to why it skips point 2!  It continues with the calibration and keeps doing more iterations

RE: Calibration issues

It may be finding point 2 exactly where it expects it...

Does the calibration complete OK?

Can you get a good Z level and make a trial print?

Cheerio,
