Life After PINDA Replacement

Hey All,

I just replaced my PINDA probe and am having a very difficult time getting back to workable settings. I am not a super user, so I haven't aquired a lot of the tricks others use!

After I go through the calibration procedure and run the First Layer Calibration routine, I have to move the z-adjust to somewhere in the -1.7 range in order to get anything to stick. I was in the -0.25-0.30 range before.

The PINDA is just slightly higher than my nozzle (2 sheets of paper worth).

Any info/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

Hi Ed,

reset Live z towards Zero for safety, then raise the pinda higher, then re do the Live Z.

the bigger your live -Z value the nearer your nozzle is to the pinda height,

if you raise the Pinda 1 thread, your new live Z value should be around 0.7mm.

rather than two sheets of paper, Prusa recommend using a spare zip tie, as a spacer, this will be closer to your ideal setting.

regards Joan
