The Mystery of the Extruder Not Touching the Bed
If your Anycubic Kobra Max extruder doesn't reach the bed during printing, you're facing one of the most frustrating issues in the 3D printing world 🚫🛏️. This situation could be due to multiple factors, from a leveling failure to a faulty sensor or mechanical misalignment. The first thing is to stay calm and understand that it's a common issue with accessible solutions, both remote and in-person.
Initial Problem Diagnosis
Before taking the printer to a workshop, it's worth performing some basic checks that could save you time and money:
- Verify that the leveling sensor is working correctly
- Check that the Z-axis guide screws are not loose
- Ensure the Z-axis motors are synchronized
- Perform an emergency manual leveling
- Clean any obstructions in the motion system
These simple checks sometimes resolve the problem without needing professional intervention 🔧.
