Z probe troubleshooting

Place something made out of metal (like a screwdriver) underneath the Z probe and see if the red LED at the top lights up. 

Go to Settings -> Manual Control and press the Home Z button. Check if the printer stops when you place something made out of metal underneath the Z probe.

Make sure the nozzle is clean. Check this video out to see how to clean the nozzles.

Check if the Z probe is lower than the end of the heat block.


If the problem still persists, continue with these steps.
Remove 3 screws from the cover at the back of the print head.

Remove the velcro strap that's holding the cables.

Loosen one of the nuts holding the Z probe in place using pliers and remove it.

Replace it with a new Z probe and secure it with the nuts. Use pliers to tighten those.
