Self tests all good. 
During the bed calibration, the nozzle hit the bed, so I lowered the pinda sensor, which fixed that. It is now very close to the nozzle height. 
When running the z live adjustment calibration, I had to go to -2.30 to get a good result. 
My test prints are good so far but I’m worried about this because instructions say not to go over -2.00 on the z adjustment…

 

Any tips? Thanks!
