Initial XYZ Calibration error messages

"XYZ calibration failed. Bed calibration point was not found."
= Printer was unable to perfectly locate the initial calibration point.

 

"XYZ calibration failed. Please consult the manual."

= Calibration point was not found at all.

 

"XYZ calibration failed. Left front calibration point not reachable."
"XYZ calibration failed. Right front calibration point not reachable."
"XYZ calibration failed. Front calibration points not reachable."

= Printer was unable to find Left, Right or Front calibration points. 

 

"XYZ calibration compromised. Left front calibration point not reachable."
"XYZ calibration compromised. Right front calibration point not reachable."
"XYZ calibration compromised. Front calibration points not reachable."

= Your printer was able to finish the initial calibration. However, your Left, Right or Front calibration point was just in the middle of passing the calibration or failing it. That means you should be able to use your printer.

 

Mesh bed leveling error messages

"Bed leveling failed. Sensor didn't trigger. Debris on nozzle? Waiting for reset."
"Bed leveling failed. Sensor triggered too high. Waiting for reset. Bed leveling failed."
"Sensor disconnected or cable broken. Waiting for reset."

= Your printer was able to finish the initial calibration. However, there is something wrong with your P.I.N.D.A. sensor position.

Hello!  I just finished assembly of the MK3s and have been attempting the calibration wizard, with no success. 
1) During the XYZ calibration step, I repeatedly get 'XYZ calibration failed, refer to manual' error message. 
2) I have made sure the PINDA sensor is set 1-2 mm higher than the nozzle. 
3) The X and Y belt tension is set to 236 (X) and 274 (Y)
4) The right X axis motor continues to raise the right side of the X axis after the left X axis motor stops, so the X axis is not level. 
5) The extruder assembly seems to be traveling too far left and right, missing the calibration points.
HELP!!!  Any insight / recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the bed calibration point error.  I have no idea how to fix it.  I reset the PINDA height as directed.  The sensor is lite.  Auto home puts the sensor inside the circle but right on the edge in toward the right and rear.  If I move the build plate 1 increment forward and one increment to the right, the PINDA is perfectly centered.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

Hi, please ensure you have the correct firmware. MK3 and MK3S will have a slightly different calibration process.
