Magintude of problems in caliberation
Hello,
I am having allot of troubles since getting my printer to run a few prints. After printing some items I started noticing the loud vibration noise that the printer make sometimes so I decided to make myself some anti-vibration feet.
Well long story short it did not go too well as now I am having allot of problems for some odd reason. The biggest problems is the probe is not aligning to the circle on the heat bed as it way too far forward. Try fixing it and also took the printer apart and rebuilt it due to the knowledge base says I have a front shift. I have measured and measured among took it apart multiple times as I keep getting the same problem as the probe is grossly misaligned as it hits the in front of the circle close to bed's edge. As I have also made sure the Z frame is firmly seated as well and measured with a caliber more the once among had other measure it as well to make sure I am I am not putting some kindof introduced error into it.
If that was not the only problem when I try to do any calibration the extruder will work for the first three points during the calibration during XYZ one, but will dig into the bed on either point 4 or 5 or 6 as this is odd because when I do the normal mesh bed alignment or the Z alignment it does not dig into the bed. As it just random and only during the XYZ calibration.
I am at my wits end with this as I so frustrated with the problem as before i put the anti-vibration feet on it was working fine and the other difference btw now and then is the feet that I put on when the printer was off.

If I understand you correctly you put some kind of cushion below the printers "legs". This could cause significant skew. I would remove it, place the printer on a very flat surface, confirm by the tipping on the corners trick as described in the build manual and try again.

I have taken the anti-vibration feet off as that what I thought was the problem to begin with as the whole printer has been torn down and rebuilt multiple times with the trick you outlined, but I keep getting the same results.

If you have an extreme front-shift I would consider moving the y-frame back in the z-frame by adjusting the M10 bolts. The measurements mentioned in the guides aren't necessarily 100% precise.
Additionally, if you can show a photo of how far off the PINDA probe is from the circle that might be helpful to see how far of a distance we're talking about.

Check the Z frame nuts are really tight. When raising the printer on the noise reduction 3D printed mounts. The frame which was level on your surface in original build ,is now in air, it may have shifted.

Here is the photo of the probe and how far forward it is
