Hello. I’m trying to set up my SV08, but when I try to run the “Calibrate Zoffset” routine it fails before it begins. What seems to happen is that that nozzle goes down too low (to -0.5mm z, which I don’t know is normal or not), such that the heat shield on the extruder gets pushed up a bit. When I…

I’m ashamed to say the reason was because I accidentally mixed up the wire connections for the x-axis motor and the y-axis motor. I swapped them, ran a macro that happened to move the bed around a bit (it might have been the “clean nozzle” one, but I don’t remember), and then it worked fine! Sorry, …

Hello. Thank you for your response. I tried tuning the Z Offset as shown, but no matter how high I set the Z Offset it lowers too far after the diagonal movement to the upper-left corner at the beginning of the test.

Is there any more information I can provide that might help solve or diagnose this issue?

Have you run the auto bed levelling first ? That routine is for fine tuning after the auto bed levelling. The hotend hitting the bed is an indicator of the Z offset being too high. The offset should usually be a negative number i.e. -0.25. The bigger the number the lower the z axis will travel as …

But which way to turn the Knob; and IMPOSSIBLE to see the disks while printing; shroud on extruder covers it over

Turning it so the number goes up makes the extruder go up, and vice-versa. If I recall correctly that’s clockwise. Just be careful when turning it down. If you do it too much there’s no mechanism to prevent the hotend from scraping against the bed. Ask me how I know. :sweat: The manual says to judg…

Yes; take care turning the knob ant-clockwise this moves the nozzle closer to the bed and even below it, scrapes the bed surface. Damage to the texture build surface
