Calibration failed, bank check centrality and run again

I ran the self test (finally) and everything came back ok. (One slight weird matter. Ten axis check moves, Y axis moves the bed, but Z doesn't motion at all.... seems strange to me, simply the Cocky cheque says ok?)

Also I tried to manually move Z and it seems to motion the right Z motor, but the left seems... slower? sluggish?

Anyway, after the cocky test I tell it to calibrate and information technology immediately fails. "Calibration failed, check axis and run again"

What does this mean?

Re: Calibration failed, bank check axis and run again

Peradventure you lot turned that black ring close to the motor itself too tight on the left Z-Axis motor?

Re: Calibration failed, bank check centrality and run over again

I am also having problem with my left Z axis... sometimes sluggish, sometimes won't move at all. Disassembled and reassembled multiple times at present and tin can't find annihilation skewed

Re: Scale failed, bank check axis and run over again

I ran into this problem besides after doing a firmware update. Have you been able to solve this issue?

*edit*
I was able to solve the outcome by going back and adjusting my hotend. Apparently, I didn't install information technology correctly and information technology was far lower then it was suppose to be. Please double cheque that your hot end is the proper position!

Re: Scale failed, bank check centrality and run over again

Same problem here with my new MK3 kit, latest firmware.
Same issue whether doing it through the wizard, "Calibrate XYZ", or "Calibrate Z".

Mesh bed leveling works fine.

Re: Calibration failed, bank check axis and run once more

Ran into this trouble just now, I fixed it by jogging the Z up to the meridian of the frame, where it hits the Z holders. I noticed one of the Z trap nuts, was noticably lower, and adjusted it manually with my hands to the match the height of the other Z trap. Now the calibration is running fine.

Ran into this trouble but at present, I fixed it by jogging the Z up to the top of the frame, where it hits the Z holders. I noticed one of the Z trap nuts, was noticably lower, and adjusted it manually with my hands to the friction match the peak of the other Z trap. Now the calibration is running fine.

Practice you only mean that the Z railroad vehicle was lower on ane rail than the other? That's automatically corrected during the calibration since during Z-homing to the top the routine keeps running until both steppers are skipping. Then I'grand surprised that fixed it for y'all.

Re: Calibration failed, check axis and run once again

Yea during the test, it was stopping about a quarter of the style upward, I guess the driver'southward detected some resistance im assuming that 1 side beingness lower than the other cause some friction, so the driver'south assumed information technology hit the tiptop and started to come down where it failed when the sensor detected the bed earlier than expected. I thought it was normal behavior for the test to simply get part of the manner up, till I read more of the transmission.

Re: Calibration failed, check axis and run again

Yeah that, exactly that (in hindsight). I was trying to accept the X-axis wagon left and right aforementioned heigt on the Z-Axis using a ruler but never got higher on Z-axis than 1/quaternary of the manner and so it stopped every fourth dimension during XYZ scale. Then I discovered the manual Z-Axis movement choice in the menu, went all the mode to the top until motors skipped once so down et voila XYZ calibration could be done... automobile home on Z-axis is still an consequence only I'grand printing (close to 2 days now almost non-finish and in need for new filament 😀 😀 )

Re: Calibration failed, check axis and run again

Well I institute my event. I misassembled my extruder by mounting the hotend too low (surprisingly I had several good prints this way, but discovered the effect when I had trouble changing filament). Pretty embarrassing, but anyway I'm glad I plant the issue!

Re: Calibration failed, check centrality and run once more

This is going to sound like a dumb question, because I feel dumb right at present after nearly 12 hours of insanity (doing the same affair over and over and expecting dissimilar results). Why would the hot end being misaligned cause the Z axis to not move?

I'm having this trouble too, where the Z axis isn't moving properly. I tried to heighten it all the way but information technology requires manual assistance to movement upwards (Which I know volition exist a problem for printing). --I can't solve this and this is my main concern at the moment.
I'm besides having the calibration error, which I think is partially due to the Z axis, but might be the hot stop (I'll take to take apart and check).

So I guess I'1000 asking, is this 2 split up issues, where one plays into the other? Or is it one over-encompassing issue?

Re: Calibration failed, check axis and run again

And then.. I fixed the Z axis not moving properly. I had to undo and redo the entire black ring thingy.. It looks like it was cross-threaded or something similar.

I'm nevertheless having scale bug.. So time to check the hot finish I guess? How can you tell if information technology's likewise low? According to the pictures, mine looks correct.. only I assume information technology must not exist?

Glad you lot made progress, but delight place the "entire black ring thingy" so we know to what you are referring.

Oh c'mon that was totally understandable by me 😛 The Z screw embrace. 🙂

Re: Scale failed, check axis and run again

I call back alexander.t2 ways the trap nut ;).

Anyway with my consequence (which was quang.n's issue as well plain) the z centrality was moving fine just gave the same mistake, presumably from having less than expected total length. Clearer mistake messages would be helpful here but these are all forms of user error and then can't blame Prusa.

I actually meant the screw cover (That goes on the bottom), non the trap nut. http://transmission.prusa3d.com/Guide/4.+Z-axis+assembly/509?lang=en#s8168

Re: Calibration failed, check axis and run again

I had the same problem and in my case I had put the spool holder facing the forepart of the printer so the Z-Centrality wasn't able to become all the style to the pinnacle when calibrating.
Uncomplicated gear up to alter the holder.

i just got this same fault. i found what the problem was... i forgot to plug in the pinda probe. yeah stupid me. 😳

Re: Calibration failed, check axis and run again

I think i fount the problem. The last step of the build leaves your extruder down and left. During XYZ calibration, the Z doesnt movement and and then stay down left, merely says ok. Ran it 6 time but failed every fourth dimension. Sorted it out by turning the printer off, moving Z all the style upwards and the turning on and restarting the magician.

Re: Calibration failed, check axis and run again

Same effect here, I installed the heating element in the "lower zone". 😆
