Mk3s printer calibration

Hello,

I am attempting calibration on my Prusa MK3S printer which I assembled from a kit. However, as you can see in the picture below, I used the auto home command and the sensor is misaligned. My printer's interface also says that I need to clean the nozzle for calibration, despite having not used it for printing yet.

RE: Mk3s printer calibration

Don't worry about cleaning the nozzle, that's really a reminder for used printers, your nozzle is clean, so carry on... 

auto home , ends up about here, for me on my mk3S

 

 

If it ends up somewhere else for you, check that your X and Y axis move smoothly, 
Have you lubricated the Linear Bearings?   (YES I KNOW WHAT THE ASSEMBLY GUIDE SAYS) but the assembly guide does not say, DO NOT lube the bearings....   
If you didn't lube the bearings, consider doing some early maintenance...
