    It seems no matter what I do when I autohome the bed stays offset by a full MM. (using a feeler gauge)

    I ran through the steps on the build manual but that's where I'm at and I now have "Err: Too far" on the info screen.

    Can anyone help? I'm in GMT timezone if some kind soul wants to do a hangout and talk me through it. I am not a clever man. :(

    I've got exactly the same problem.

    After everything the stress level and amount of time it took me to build I have to keep stopping so I don't throw it through a window.

    Okay, so what I think I missed was you need to read the power on portion at the same time. This means you level the IR sensor to the head. So drop the bed by going into prepare, move Z axis down and set the offset to -5. Then power cycle and start. That should clear the too far error.

    When you follow the steps and do an autohome at the end it DOESN'T finish at the offset you've set. To check it you have to manually move the bed till it says 0.

    Do you have a pro or a dual?

    Pro. I got it done and added a bit to the wiki to make it a little clearer for anyone who gets stuck like me.

    Would of prefered to level bed manually but was not given that option..is the dual the only version without the calibrate option?

    Wondering the same thing. I however have mine set too close... I am not seeing the whole mesh leveling step that the build manual refers to for dual. I press level and it just goes to four points without any option to adjust anything. Confused! Attempted to start a print for the hell of it but it is too close to the bed for anything to be extruded. Not sure what to do. Had to stop before I started smashing things.
