                  What happened?

                  On the CORE One equipped with the INDX, the offset of the tools compared to the first is calibrated through the Tool Offset Calibration. If the offset of one of the tools deviates too far from the expected range, the printer will show the following message: "Tool offset calibration failed. Make sure the nozzle and the sensor are clean. Caution: the nozzle may be hot."

                  Error name: Tool offset out of bounds

                  Error code: #36130 (CORE One INDX)

                  How to fix it?

                  Filament unload

                  Make sure that the filament is unloaded before the calibration process.

                  Nozzle cleaning

                  CAUTION: Heated parts can cause severe burns!
                  Check if the nozzle has residue. To clean it, pick up the nozzle through the printer menu. Then, heat it for three to five minutes at 250 °C, as the remains of the filament must be warmed up slightly so that they can be removed more easily.

                  Use a small brass brush to clear away any old plastic stuck on the nozzle. Avoid contact of the brush with the hotend cables, as this could cause a short circuit.

                  Tool offset calibration

                  Go to the printer menu in Control -> Calibrations & Tests -> 12. Tool offsets calibration and redo the calibration.

                  Reduce vibrations

                  Any vibration propagated to the surface under the printer, or an unstable surface under the printer, might cause a false reading on the load cell, triggering the homing error.

                  For example, a printer that is in operation next to your printer can cause vibrations that are propagated to it, potentially causing a tool offset calibration failure. In that case, stop any printers next to the CORE One with INDX, and reattempt the calibration.

                  A possible solution to dampen the noise and vibration of a printer is to add some additional padding underneath the printer.

                  brand new out of the box, it failed on nearly every tool. I took apart the print head trying to mess with it to get it right, but what fixed it was brushing the heck out of the print nozzles, and then using a nozzle tip pick, to clean the print nozzle tube. after a few goes with that, it worked. no EMI, etc. just needed to clean tf out of the nozzles before use, if out of the box

                  I’ve struggled with this error for some time. I upgraded to INDX and GEN2 on 9/26 the day after 6.9.1 firmware came out. Printer always passed tool offset calibration during setup, and all other tests without issue. However, when trying to print only some tools could pass offset calibration and there was no consistent pattern as to which tool or when it would pass or fail. Never could get all 8 tools to pass or then make it to bed leveling and print.

                  I AM PRINTING SUCCESSFULLY NOW. The problem appears to be electromagnetic interference, most likely for me between the bed heater wires and the INDX tool head cable. Bed heats, tool offset calibration wanders around lost.

                  During installation I had done some nice cable management and apparently created a coil in the main cable that was introducing the EMI. Popped the back cover, stretched out the cable and have been printing fine since.

                  You can find more about this on the Prusa Discord by searching for “ferrite core”. Another way to combat this interference is to install a ferrite core around the INDX main tool head cable close to where it plugs into the Buddy Board.

                  Happy printing!

                  Solved after belt tensioning and gantry alignment, then re-calibrated the docking, re-calibrated finally the tool offset and now the print goes well. Some minor problem persist with PC-CF but not with offset calibration but with bed calibration, but it's out of topic

                  Running into this error, even with padding. It once got passed Tool head 4, then smashed itself to the toolhead cleaner, knocked the nozzle out and crashed the calibration. Had to manually reseat the nozzle back in.

                  Even stranger, during the calibration, some of the tool heads are probing the sensor on the front right corner. That can't be good for the board. Hopefully they have a better guide to troubleshoot...

                  I have redo calibration and cleaning multiple times; the calibration completes without issues, but an error occurs when Printing…

                  When Printing, the nozzle temperature is higher than during calibration, and it appears that there is a slight amount of filament dripping from the loaded filament... but it's really just a tiny amount. I tried using both Prusament PLA and
                  ESUN PLA, but both yielded the same result. Since performing the INDX conversion, I haven't been able to print a single time.

                  Im having the exact same issue. Haven’t been able to print even once yet. I feel like I go ahead and brush clean the nozzle after the failed calibration before the print, only for it to go “clean” itself again in the brushy area by making a fresh poopy, leaving a little ooze on the nozzle. Feels like a hopeless loop.

                  I have the exact same issue. Probably retried 15 times now and I finally got past tool 1, but now tool 2 is having the issue. I don’t know that I have the time or patience to keep trying. Please help us, Prusa

                  Hello Zen and others,
                  please try to use 6.9.1 beta (or stable if released by the time you are reading this reply). One of the changes we did there is redusing the nozzle temperature for the tool offset calibration.

                  You can find the file here: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/releases/tag/v6.9.1-beta

                  I tried the beta and was able to get to tool 4 on a print, whereas it previously failed on 1. Then I got the following error:
                  Unsafe Z tool offset #36131

                  I have the 6.9.1 driver (does this also have the fix?) I've calibrated successfully, there's no vibrations, the nozzles are clean and the offset fails repeatedly on prints

                  Update:
                  after installing the new driver I ran the new gantry squareness wizard and it found a skew, I went back through this and belt tuning twice (and learned reverse belt tuning is bad)

                  no luck

                  so i did all the calibrations again and they all passed

                  still getting the same error

                  Update 2:

                  I finally got it to print...with no changes since the last update, just slicing and sending again....shrug
