Hi all,
I've been struggling this week with our BL touch.
It gets some way through the bed levelling process and then stops with the message 'probing failed'.
Watching it as it happens, the probe lowers but doesn't quite touch the bed resulting in the error and then the BL Touch starts it's error flash sequence.
This began happening every 4th or 5th attempt, but its become progressively worse until now it happens every time and I can't get a print started.
I spoke with the guys at gCreate about this before as we've had this same issue in the past, however all the tips they gave last time aren't working this time so thought i'd cast the search a little wider to see if anyone else has had any luck and could advise.
For reference:
- I've removed the BL Touch and inspected to make sure there are no obstructions.
- I've checked all the wiring looms to make sure they are plugged in correctly and aren't compromised in any way.
- Reset the machine.
- Cleaned down all moving components to make sure there are no obstructions to movement that might be causing the error.
Thanks
Ben
