Hi all. I’ve had a lot of fun using the Sovol SV06 plus for the past year. But come today, I apparently have messed up. While starting a print, I tried to pull some excess leaking PETG filament from the nozzle, right before it starts. Unfortunately, it starts, so I didn’t have enough time to grab it…

Hi, I may not have understood everything you did, but have you thought about doing the simplest thing, I mean completely recalibrating your printer from the beginning, as if you had just received it? Regards

Maybe try this: https://youtu.be/SEJVVoFvgMY?si=TBm4mGk0xkL9M1xJ If you have problem in printing, you can send an e-mail for to info@sovol3d.com . Please send the above situation with videos and pictures and your order number, and we will check with the engineers asap.

@mich0111 This is what i’ve been trying to do. I’m not sure how I can recalibrate the printer’s z-offset, if where the printer thinks zero is misaligned. @sovol3d I’ve also tried this. No luck, it still slams into the bed.

Have you checked that the autohome probe is correctly positioned? I once made an autohome while a model was still on the bed. This raised the probe several centimeters. Until I put it back in place, any attempt at an autohome damaged the board.

@mich0111 I’m not sure how it can be positioned differently. The proximity sensor is pointing down towards the bed. It lights up when active and does stop when I touch metal to it though. Unfortunately, I don’t think it helps my problem. @Lion I’ve tried this. Over and over til it hit the max value…

Is it hitting the bed hard or just lightly…?? Try to do a bed level & then set the Z-Offset correctly.

It is hitting the bed hard, as if it wants to go through several mm under the bed. Do you mean to manually bed level and then set the z-offset? I’m starting to think I need to reset the 0 z-offset because its clearly not using the proximity sensor. or the sensor has been broken. No matter what I ch…

Yes, manually do a bed level…once it’s done…set the Z-Offset. The sensor shouldn’t have anything to do with your issue if all you did was adjust the Z-Offset.
