RE: Suddenly cannot calibrate no matter what I do

The crashes we are talking about is the nozzle crashing into the bed as its trying to calibrate the Z. And running the full wizard after the reboot does not work. I had to adjust the Z offset before doing the calibration for it to work successfully.

Then you didn't use the DATA CLEAR option, because that deletes any z-offset data.

But if you got it working, great.

Yeah I did that it set the value to 0 and crashed into the bed until you change it. This error happens every time you try and redo the calibration so theres definitely a bug that needs fixed somewhere.

Revisit your Pinda. I think that it can be faulty even if the red light works. Somewhere down in the printer menu there is a choice to check  if it responds to metal.  This is in Settings... scroll down to Sensors and you should see Pinda  zero. It must change to 1 when the probe senses metal. Mine did not, even when the red light worked.

Retired doc, should have been an engineer.

Correction  to above, it is in Service. scroll down a long way.

RE: Suddenly cannot calibrate no matter what I do

I'll read the rest of the thread but wanted to sympathize with your plight.  I've had this error and found it hilarious when the poor little extruder blindly crashes down into the print sheet and tells me there's a problem (Really?  You think?).  In all cases the X decided to join the alt-right and wasn't even over the print sheet; it couldn't stop because it was effectively blind. 

I don't recall exactly how I fixed that problem (as I had others afterward) but manually moving the X to the farthest possible left stopped it from going too far right.  Basically I served as Antifa.  This allowed the 9 point calibration and successful prints.  It knew how far to travel, but not where it was.

I should take a picture of my print sheet.  There's a huge divot from this experience as well as other battle scars from my 3D printing experience.

It works perfectly  fine now great actually its just if i got to ever recalibrate i know the same issue is going to happen. The first time I got it out of the box it works perfectly - I wanted to recalibrate just cuz and then it started crashing with no adjustment to the pinda. I wanted to put this up here so other people having the same issue could see what i did to "fix" it.

Thank you for that.  So much depends on that little PINDA and even with as smart as it is, the printer doesn't know what it can't sense.

Ryan - if the reset cleared the value to 0 - which is what it should do - there's really no reason the nozzle should contact the bed because the delta provided by the PINDA install is 0.85 mm.   So your going in to set the offset to something else isn't making sense unless your PINDA height is way off.

What exactly did you do to resolve the problem?  If only the Z-offset value, then what is your current setting (be sure to read the sign).

After i reset - skipped the wizard - adjusted the z to -2.000  -  - XYZ calibrated calibrated with no issues and have had none since.

Wow - that's counter intuitive. 

A setting of -2.000 LOWERS the nozzle a full 2 mm below the 0 setting.  So by all rights, you should be digging 2 mm deeper into your bed.

RE: Suddenly cannot calibrate no matter what I do

Yes It doesnt make sense at all but ill be damned if it didnt work lol Gotta be a bug somewhere cuz from factor = perfect -> redo calibrate -> crash into bed with 0 changes
