Error msg: "Distance between tip of the nozzle and the the bed surface has not been set yet"
I bought two new Prusa i3 mk2. One was calibrated pretty good. The other one was out of whack when I opened it. One side of the z-axis was much lower than the other. Furthermore, every time I start this printer I get the message "Distance between tip of the nozzle and the the bed surface has not been set yet.
Please follow the manual, chapter First steps, section First Layer calibration."
I've calibrated xyz, calibrated z, run mesh bed leveling and nothing gets rid of this message. How do I get rid of this errors message?
Re: Error msg: "Distance between tip of the nozzle and the the bed surface has not been set yet"
This message is set when you do an XYZ Calibration, which set's your Live Z to 0.
The machine needs to know where the nozzle is (relative to the PINDA sensor). The best way to do this is to follow the instructions here:
You can tell the printer you have set the Live Z by the special gcode command that is in the calibration files.
Getting the Live Z set correctly is very, very important, and will prevent a lot of frustration.
Let us know if you need more help.

I believe you must print the V2Calibration.gcode supplied with the sd card. This will remove that message.
