What happened?
The printer is displaying the message: Tower axis check failed! Please check if the ball-screw can move smoothly in its entire range.
Error name: Tower check failed
Error code: #10118
Issued when the SL1 is not able to measure the axial length of the tower axis.
How to fix it?
Check if anything is blocking the axis movement. If you cannot see anything blocking the axis movement, please contact Customer support.
