Second print not at Z=0 new Prusa i3 M201

[Slacker]

Hello. The base of my first print didnt stick on one corner, so I cancelled it. I then reset the Z calibration carefully using 4 different points on the bed, However, now when i start the print job it only gets to within 2-3mm of the bed. If I then re-check the Z start position it returns to the correct position. Can anyone help?

[William]

You can try moving up Z axis to 10-20mm before printing,then start to print.

[Slacker]

I tried moving Z up 20mm but it didnt help.

FWIW I'm using the latest/v1.0.5 firmware.

I also noticed that it looked like it did an operation (maybe a zeroing) before it turned on the extruder heater.

[William]

OK,could you shoot a video to show the issue(the entire process)?
I'll appreciate it .

[Slacker]

Do you want a video of the print head or GUI?

Is there anywhere in repetierhost or slic3r that an offset can be configured?

[William]

A video would be better,thx.
I'm not sure if this parameter helps:

When i try to attach the video it says "The extension mkv is not allowed.". What format should I use?

[Slacker]

Here's a video

I think this is fixed. Re-zero'd Z and tried -3 on the slic3r setting. If the current print job works I will try to remove the slic3r setting to see if its required or not.

[Slacker]

FYI, this was probably due to some sticking on the Z axis. I rad a die down the threaded rod, the thread itself was ok, but the rod was slightly bent. I have straightened it a bit but its still not perfect. I also ran a tap through the Z axis nut, and some material was removed.
