Calibration half way up the Z Axis.

Hi everyone!

Been loving my mk2 for over a year now, until the point where I was cleaning out the nozzle, overtightened the heatbreak and snapped it.
I bought some replacement parts and have fitted them. All is ok hardware wise.

Since then I have had trouble doing xyz calibration. Point 2 of 4 would be oddly high off the bed, and after 3 iterations I got the generic error meaning the points were found way off.

So I did a factory reset. Now when I run the xyz calibration it only travels about half way down the z axis before checking for the first point.

Any ideas?

Maybe an update to the latest firmware and then redo calibration beginning with the selftest.

Please check which hex file you downloaded - it is just possible you accidentally clicked the wrong download link.

Also try a factory reset -> Delete all data.

Sometimes data gets corrupted and creates strange artifacts.
