Detailed Z-Axis Calibration Issue

Doubtless you've seen the error "Calibration failed! Check the axes and run again. Z-Axis failure"

I just finished a fantastic 34-hour print in PETG on my very-stock Prusa MK3s+ v3.13.2 directly from the SD Card and it turned out beautifully. I removed the plate and then the model and cleaned the plate with soapy water and EtOH.  After I've replaced the plate properly, it absolutely will NOT calibrate the Z axis. The XYZ Axis Calibration runs just fine, as do all other calibration tests, but the Z calibration returns the above failure every time. I've tried it both with the proper z-offset, measured both mechanically with feeler gauges, and carefully calibrated with squares and temp towers.  I've followed all of the advice from the masters - Joan among them. (she's awesome)

I've loved learning this printer, but I'm about at the end of my rope, and these Bambu jokers are starting to look good. 

Can anyone help keep a Prusa user?
