Horrific calibration on my end stops.
Horrific calibration on my end stops.
So after not printing for the longest time after my move I decided to recalibrate my printer and start printing again. BUT I seem to have hit a brick wall. After getting the Z-height done and going to calibrate my XYZ axis, I found something odd. My X and Y sit about a quarter of an inch above the heatbed. I have the end stop screws almost completely out of the endstops and there is no benefit. I've gone through and done the horizontal radius and all of that fun stuff to no avail. Printer settings are changed to the correct Z height, the XYZ are all adjusted on the EEPROM. What I find weird is the Z axis hits fine. It's right where it should be but the other two are horribly out of whack. I've checked the towers and made sure they weren't all jacked up from the move either. Everything is sitting at the same height, it just doesn't want to move. I'm following the calibration guide from the manual so I'm sure there's some new technique out now that's much better, but I haven't been able to print for the last 5-6 months or so anyway. Any idea as to what may be going on? I can post pictures of everything later tonight when I get home if they would help.

For calibration i do not use the screws. I find that method archaic when you can do it in the software.

Besides that, i was recently fiddling with my printer and I noticed that my endstop limit switches had come lose. I had to tighten them.
Not sure why you have such a big difference but things can happen when you transport your printer. Also check your belts etc..
