Hi. I need some help. Its my first time encounterinf this ever since i gotte my J1 in 2021. am trying to do bed levelling but tue bed just doesnt move up to the nozzle height. The bed will stop about half inch below the nozzle and the the hot will move to datum and then to the calibration point. After this, the bes just go down and down amd down until it hits the limit switch. I have tried firmware update and factory reset, but the problem is still there. And now i cant print cos I cant complete calibration after factory reset. I have posted the video on facebook, " Snapmaker J1/J1s owners".

Try turning the machine off, then unplug the power cord. Plug the power cord back in and turn on. Worked for me, it seems to reboot the machine.

Maybe the z-limit switch gets not unactuated? [image] Unrealiable Z offset Snapmaker J1 SOLVED !!! SOLVED !!! The problem was caused by the tongue of the microswitch being bent downward. So the switch was not being activated properly by the limit switch block. The switch did not seem to activate even when pressing the tab with fingers. I solved it by bending up the tab. I would say that this method of handling Z-axis homing is not very reliable because the tongue of this microswitch is made of a very light sheet metal and when the board is lowered it is probably always subject…

Thank you all for the responses. I tried them but to no avail. So in the end, i change both extruders to 0.8mmm and the calibration was done. Probably, I will change all back to 0.4mm extruder and test again.
