After each power on, new Core One recalibrates home, bangs the Nextruder against the corner and reports a printer collision
I have assembled a Core One myself. Everything went smooth until I powered-off the Core One after belt tuning and initial calibration. (When I do not use my printer, I completely power the printer off the printer via the main switch on the PSU.)
Now, every time when I power on the printer and start the first print the following things happens:
- The printer shows the message "Recalibrating home. Printer may vibrate and be noisier".
- The printer bangs the Nextruder against the front-right corner a dozen times. I understand that this is called "sensor-less homing" and is intentional so that the printer re-calibrates its position after a power-loss. But I read that the printer would at most bang the head against each corner two times, not a dozen times. It really sounds as if the printer is going to break any moment.
- After a couple of minutes the message "A printer collision has been detected. Homing ..."
- The printer goes on with banging the Nextruder
- Eventually, the printer pulls trough, seems to be happy and just prints fine.
What is going on here? I have been really, really carefully during assembly and belt tuning seems fine. When the printer is powered off, I can move the extruder with some but still little force along all axis.
