                  From article XYZ Calibration (MK3/MK3S/MK3S+)

                  Initial XYZ Calibration error messages

                  "XYZ calibration failed. Bed calibration point was not found."
                  = Printer was unable to perfectly pinpoint 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 point. 

                  "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 points were just in the middle of passing the calibration or failing it. That means you should be able to use your printer. Yet we advise you to check out the following tips on how to improve your XYZ calibration.

                  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 the P.I.N.D.A. position.

                  Boa noite,
                  Temos 5 impressoras mk3s+ que trabalham 24h a algum tempo já, somos uma multifuncional alemã do ramo automotivo..
                  Recentemente a nossa impressora a mais antiga que estava trabalhando normalmente começou a falhar a impressão depois de alguns minutos não soltando o filamento, fiz a troca do bico extrusor por completo e neste estágio ela aceitou a calibragem XYZ normal e a primeira camada também, porém o problema persistiu, então percebi que o motor extrusor estava com problemas e resolvi fazer a troca por um novo, não usamos peças paralelas, somente originais Prusa, após a troca do motor ela não aceita a calibragem XYZ, já troquei o sensor pinda e nada, os eixos sobem desorientado e apresenta a falha, já não sei mais o que fazer, temos uma demanda enorme e com 5 já é apertado, agora com 4 ficou pior. Gostamos muito delas, são o melhor custo benefício e de fácil manutenção, porém este problema esta nos tirando o sono.
                   
                  Alguém pode nos ajudar?

                  Hi,
                  I am getting the same error: XYZ calibration failed. Please consult the manual
                  I have a Mk3S and have been using it for almost a year with no problems what-so-ever. Today, this error suddently started.
                  Steps I've taken.
                  1. tested the PINDA sensor - it seems to be working
                  2. Tested height of sensor. Changed height and retest.
                  3. Calibrated xyz multiple times.
                  Get the same error.
                  The firmware I have been using is 3.10 (this has not been changed).
                  This is quite frustrating. Any ideas on what I should do next?
                  Any assistance is much appreciated.

                  Just for the benefit of others, I contacted the support chat and they diagnosed the issue straight away.
                  The issue was, in my case that the screws connecting the pulleys on to the motor shaft had loosened. I tightened them back and the calibration completed perfectly.

                  Hello, I just assembled my MK3S+ and first time it completed all the calibation and I was able to print, but then I was getting an error and I tried to do XYZ Calibration and it would fail at the 4th calibration point. I searched through the knowledge base and checked all the items, such checking Penda distance, XY Belt Tension using Belt test (X 255, Y 270) no obstruction on any cable path. I only get the error that it failed and consult my manual and I am out of ideas. What information can I obtain to see where its failing ?

                  Try lowering the SuperPinda probe 0.5-1 mm, so it is a little closer to the bed, but still above the tip of the nozzle. Also, try to run the Z-calibration only, before running the XYZ-calibration. If this does not work, please take some pictures of your assembly (extruder and bed assembly from different angles) and have them ready when contacting support per email [email protected] or liveChat.
