RE:
same problem here with my Kit Core One received sept 15 2025 : random calibrating/homing/bumping XY to front corner .... some times it bounce 5 times ... sometime endless bumping
--Gantry is perfectly align -- done belt tension adjustment multiple time = OK -- still have random calibration/endless bumping -- extended homing also create bed over heat when you ask chamber temperature to reach higher setpoint : initial bed set point is 115degC when chamber need to pre heat
Open a prusa chat for help , keep telling me to adjust belts ! Belt adjustment should not be a science project !!! the tolerance for this initial X-Y homing/calibration is simply too tight ! all my prints are OK so this initial calibration/homing have impossible tolerance to achieve ... Prusa is not interested to change this in the FW so i'm stuck with my expensive unrialable printer because return shipping would cost too much 😡

A mistake I kept making in the first couple of weeks was not fully understanding out how belt tensioning affects gantry squareness. Prusa need to do a better job of explaining this because I feel it is a source of a lot of frustration. To start with, the gantry needs to be square with the belts completely loose. Next as the belts are progressively and evenly tightened, squareness needs to be periodically checked. After completing the tensioning process it needs to be checked again. My view is that Prusa should redesign how the gantry is attached to the y-axis smooth rod bearings.
RE: Failed Y-calibration of a new CoreOne
My endless bumping/XY calibration still present in random condition , even after multiple belts tunning , gantry alignement , pullys alignement...
i'v been working as automation/electronic specialist into a fast packaging plant for 35 years , and 3D printing since 2019 : please consider my knowledge …
i 3D print in my garage , including winter low room temperature ( 15degC) , i dont want to mess with belt tunning and failed prints because of XY calibraion failed.
CoreOne FACT :
--MANY MANY users have this XY calibration/CornerBumping problem
5 pages thread link here
18 pages thread link here
-- the abnormal/extended 5 minutes calibration CornerCollision/bumping « multiple retry» will eventually dammage/misalign the printer top structure + Axis parts . Even the current « normal » amount of bumping are excessive .
--Most user who still encounter failed XY calibration have good prints thus confirm calibration tolerance being too tight : they still perform good prints
--High speed corner collision doesnt help stable calibration readings? Why not go slower?
--Some initial VERY cold chamber (low rooms temperature) doesnt seem to help
--My first print attempt often fail at XY calibraion , after a reset and AutoHome request , it usually pass and work fine
Core One firmware change suggestion :
--Slow down that corner hit/collision test (the one happend at each prints starts)
--do only 1 or 2 pairs of bumping calibration and simply trigger this message if calibration fail :
« XY calibration does not meet specification : abort print or continue anyway ? »
--Change the initial bed 115degC setpoint when chamber pre heat are requested : this cause bed over heat and can lead to dangerous over heat/bed dammage/fire :
Make the bed initial temperature setpoint same as print bed setpoint until the chamber reach its setpoint

This reads like the release notes of the 6.4.0-RC firmware. The homing has slowed down and it's much gentler. It still has a few bugs but so far, after 2 weeks it stable enough to use until the actual release drops.
RE: Failed Y-calibration of a new CoreOne
The RC wrecked my XL but was fine on the Core Ones. Definitely more lenient when it comes down to home calibration.

Read somewhere that on XL it was crashing the toolhead into the dock?

thanks Hyiger ... i'l wait for the official release ... dont wanna compile/code now

Lazier homing, more cautious calibration
Homing behavior on the XL and CORE One has been refined to avoid unnecessary movements. In cases such as filament load or unload, the printer now performs only basic homing, skipping the extra diagonal movements. If a precise position is required later, only the refinement step is executed. For unload operations with auto-retraction, homing is still performed to ensure the correct filament removal angle.
This change applies only to specific situations—G-code G28 without parameters, which is placed at the start of every print, will still trigger a full homing sequence. We are also considering updating slicer profiles in the future to allow optional homing.
In addition, the long and noisy precise homing calibration is no longer run automatically. Instead, the printer now checks reliability and suggests the calibration only when needed, and you can always choose to skip it. If required, the precise homing calibration can be started manually at any time from the Calibrations menu.

Yes. Brutal. After three or four times it ripped the belts out of their holders

No need You can just download the precompiled code from their GitHub site (under Releases)

RE: Failed Y-calibration of a new CoreOne
thanks , not familiar with github , i'm no fan of beta release but ...i done it ...
it give me hope in prusa .... Auto Home become simpler .... time will tell
