Home Calibration
I just turned on my i3 and had it go to the home position. The nozzel presses onto the class and the bed is as low as it can go. It seems to me that adjusting the z-axis stop would be the way to go but it is hard-screwed into position. What do I do to get more space between the nozzel and bed?

Re: Home Calibration
Hi.
Quite easy fix, the nut is not completely in the nut holder, just rotate it slightly so it can be fully inside the part.
We used positionable endstops before, but they got often installed incorrectly or moved on the rod, which caused damage to the printer. This is safer and with repeatable results.
Also your fan is installed incorrectly on the nozzle. It needs to be all the way up.
Re: Home Calibration
Thanks for the tip on the fan. That is now fixed.
However the nut holders have differnt bottoms. Three actually have a bottom while one does not. Which one is correct?
Notice the second from the left - no bottom.

Re: Home Calibration
I made the executive decision that the bottoms should not be there and removed them using razor. Things looking good for now
Re: Home Calibration
Bottoms doesn't matter for calibration. But in fact the part is designed to have bottom 😯
BTW: Always make sure the corners are completely in before leveling the bed.
Re: Home Calibration
Just to iterate here. Whenever I have to adjust those screws, I make sure the corners of the bed are seated on the bed frame using pliers. See attached image.
Re: Home Calibration
Well, this is a bit bruteforce 😯 I just use my hand.
Do you have to recalibrate yours often? We usually don't have to touch ours for weeks.
