Bed Leveling woes

In the last 5 minutes, I've run the bed leveling commands 4 or 5 times and gotten various different failures:
- Bed leveling failed. Sensor triggered too high. Waiting for reset.
- Bed leveling failed, Sensor didn't trigger, debris on nozzle
- Bed leveling failed, sensor damaged or disconnected
I've checked the connection and it seems fine.

What I I doing wrong?

Re: Bed Leveling woes

the only time I've had the first two errors the fix turned out to be exactly what it said: either debris or the probe was mounted too high.

double check the probe spacing using the procedure in manual (clearance should be the width of a zip tie).

I relevelled the probe and reran the XYZ calibration. I still get about a 50% failure rate on the mesh leveling. Bad probe?

could be, what does support say?

you can check if its triggering correctly by watching the red light as it approaches the measurement point or you can pass some ferrous object underneath it.

Support hasn’t responded to me.

I did more testing with a screwdriver and it seems like there might be a loose connection at the probe end. Hopefully support can send me a new one soon
