Fan bolts hit z-axis threaded rod

Hi!

I noticed, that every time the X axis is being calibrated, the fan bolts (the whole fan housing actually) hit the Z axis threaded rod.
Now, I don't know if this is suppose to happen, or did I make some mistake when assembling the printer. Maybe some other part of the extruder should hit the X axis' printed end part.

So, is this normal or am I missing something here?

Thank you guys in advance.

Happy printing 🙂

Yes.

That is one way the Prusa MK3S homes.  Usually the screws are tightened enough they don't make first contact, but yours isn't the first that does. 

Normally, the plastic of the extruder contacts the plastic of the left X-Axis carriage.
