MK3 maybe endstop fail

Hello, today i have assembled my MK3 step by step and I started with calibration. Basic wizrad ran fine (endstop check, rods check, sensors check). Then it started XYZ calibration but my PINDA cannot be inside white circle on the board and calibration fails. A tried auto home and PINDA was correctly in the circle. But when I want to do XYZ calibration, PINDA isn't in the circle and is somewhere else. I have also noticed that in the tab "endstops check" X and Y axis are always in 1, only Z changes. (Cables are correct, PINDA is working)

What should I do?

I have recorded a video with my calibration and auto home behavior.

Re: MK3 maybe endstop fail

For my taste you have your extruder assembled wrong. The print head and PINDA are waaaay to low - they should be much higher (PINDA should be about 1cm lower than it's mount - you have about 2-3x that).
The calibration may fail because of that. Correct that and try again.

Best regards... Szafran... MK3S + MMU2S + OctoPrint on DELL 3020m

Yea It looks a bit lower. I will try that tomorrow and I will let you know.

Yes, extruder wrong mounted.
The extruder has to be at same height of the fan and also the pinda.
