GF stuck in calibration

Community Support
#1

Hello,
my GF is stuck in calibration.
It was working yesterday until evening European time, and suddenly no refresh of the bed-picture and status stock at “calibrating”.
After startup it does it’s “bleep-bleep badoop”, and thats all.

I have done several things like restart, restart after x minutes + logout and shut down browser, unplug power cord for half an hour, I waited over an hour but was still calibrating. I’ve also checked the wifi (stable) but nothing worked.

Can you help me?

Hey, it works!

I gently pushed the bar and head to the center. Then I started the GF with the Lid open and waited for about ten minutes. Then closed it and it startend to move again! And taking sweet pictures! :smiley:

I am really happy, because since I am from Europe shipping a GF would have cost me around 800 bucks…and I still have a lot to cut till my wedding…

Gold luck to all you stuck!

I’m kinda jealous – mine works fine, but it doesn’t say “bleep-bleep-badoop!” :wink:

Glad you got it working!

Something that might help you is to not manually move your print head unless you are cleaning your optics. I never have calibration problems when the print head is not touched. :grinning:

Definitely shouldn’t be touched while the machine is on. If you mess with it while it’s off, the power-up calibration sequence will override any changes you made. :slight_smile:

Never have touched it until yesterday.
…and it was turned off. :slight_smile:
