Check proper wiring of the hotend power cables and the thermistor cables. Ensure
that both are properly connected to the EINSY electronics, and that they are not

error:
Check that the heatbed and the hotend power cables are not swapped or that the
thermistor cables from both the hotend and the heatbed are not swapped in the
EINSY electronics.
Loose
pulley
-
Pulley
{XY}:
The belt pulley is loose and slips on the motor shaft. It is important to tighten the first
grub screw on the flat piece of the shaft, then continue with the second grub screw.
Axis length
-
{XY}:
The printer measures the length of the axis by moving the print head from end to end
twice. If the measured value is different from the physical length, your print head
might be blocked from moving all the way. Check by hand if the print head moves
smoothly when the printer is powered off.
Endstops

Wiring
error
-
Z:
Check the proper cabling of the PINDA probe. Routine indicates the PINDA probe
has a malfunction or is not properly responding. Check for the proper connection in
the EINSY electronics.

Motor
Z:
Check if the print head can be moved all the down the Z axis to trigger the PINDA
probe over the bed.
6.3.5 Calibrate XYZ (kit only)
The Original Prusa i3 MK3 comes with a full mesh bed leveling feature, however
for this to work we need to first calibrate the distance between the tip of the nozzle
and the PINDA (Prusa INDuction Autoleveling) probe.
The process is fairly straightforward; so let’s get to it.
The purpose of the X/Y/Z calibration routine is to measure the skew of the X/Y/Z axes and to
find the position of the 4 calibration points on the print bed for proper bed leveling. You can
