Im using the creality ender 3 v3 se and ive run into a levelling problem
When doing an auto level operation the print head moves to the right (on x axis) and makes a grinding noise
Then the print head is supposed to move to 16 points on the bed to check the levels
It sits on the right side and goes up and down moving from front to back
The screen shows it is meaduring the z offset at the 16 spots but it does not move from the right side
Google says its a x-axis limit switch
Any suggestions?
It is possible that it is the limit switch is bad and the print head is still trying to move into position. It could also be the the home position has been messed up. You could try rehoming it.
How do I do a rehoming
If i do auto home from the center of the bed the print head moves to the right and makes noises
If i move the print head manually to the left (till the switch clicks) and then auto home it works fine
The noise it makes going to the right, assuming it runs to the edge and is stopped, sounds like it is still trying to move farther right. It seems that something is out of wack, it happens. Unfortunately I am not familiar with that printer so not much help. Hopefully someone else with chime in .
Are you using a specific slicer designed for that printer? I wonder if the bed size is set incorrectly. You might also check to make certain the distances are correct something stopping full movement of the head will make a mess of all the calibration.
Sounds like the switch is being seen when you start from the left, so the carriage may be binding or the X belt/pulley is slipping when it has to travel right. That grinding is never a fun calibration soundtrack.
I fixed the problem by replacing the ribbon cable
now its fine
