Loadcell Test Fail
I Cannot get the load cell test to pass. I do not see any "progress bar" when the test is running and I am pressing down. I have the nozzle pushed up all the way and the two thumb screws screwed in. When I push on the nozzle there is no noticeable movement. I have checked that the cable is plugged in, when I unplug it the number goes to a crazy high number. When I plug it back in it says 0. Nothing I do to push the nozzle changes it from 0. I have unscrewed the gearbox to look at the "white pad" as suggested by the articles yet I do not see any white pad. I see a black shiny thing where the white pad is shown in the articles. I have unscrewed the thumb screws to where it then can move up and down and still the load cell says 0. Any recommendations?
RE: Loadcell Test Fail
try tapping the end of the nozzle in the very short window of time when the printer is checking for input.
I never succeeded by pressing the nozzle, but tapping it, upwards seems to work for me

RE: Loadcell Test Fail
Just tried it and still failed. I also went into Info -> Sensor info and tried it and the number doesn't move from 0.0
When I power on the printer and go to the same Sensor info page, the number starts as a very large -160000 number and resets to 0 when I go and start the calibration

have you had a chat with support?
possibly your best option!

RE: Loadcell Test Fail
Mine show about 14,000 and changes a few hundreds when I push the nozzle up with my finger.
If you don't have a responsive loadcell, there is no point trying Z calibration. Make sure the load cell cable is attached correctly and chat with support.
