Yeah I was following the instructions on-screen in Falcon Design Space while watching the video, first calibration stage is without the focus block - straight onto the baseplate. Then the following 3 calibration steps go 3mm, 5mm and finally 7mm.
It’s nice to have this issue finally fixed. The new firmware will simply be icing on the cake at this point 
I forgot to ask. Have you tried doing the auto-focus using the honeycomb plate? This is where I usually have my issues and it sometimes says it auto focuses and when I check it is either to close or to far for the material that I am using.
Yeah still getting issues with the honeycomb workbench. I’m using the official one for the A1 Pro with a depth of 15mm. It’s a lot better since I did the Z-axis recalibration in Falcon Design Space, but still leaves me having to do manual adjustment of a couple of mm.
I might try removing the rubber pads for the honeycomb workbench to see if it helps…
I have another honeycomb base with a depth of 21mm and the only option is manual focus. I get errors on the control panel if I try using the autofocus feature with this taller honeycomb base.
As discussed in another topic, a swappable base plate for the A1/A1 Pro that drops the depth by a few cm would be a must-have purchase for me.
I have the same, i use the actual A1 honeycomb and have another one that i used until they came out with the official one. Thank you for the replies. My experience is hit and miss.
Hi! I still don’t have the A1 honeycomb to try, but I think the problem could be the point of the auto-focus measurement: the laser point should point on a flat surface, honeycomb has irregular surface so maybe It couldn’t be so precise compared to the flat base without the honeycomb.
I have a problem following the instructions of the calibration of the autofocus option. Even if I follow precisely the youtube video in the wiki (and liked above) and do every steps, at the and I always receive a calibration fail popup in the falcon windows app after the last step. I tried everything and still have such problem so to me the auto focus is pretty useless without a proper calibration. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
Was this the Z-axis calibration from within the Falcon Design Space software?
I’ve seen the on-device autofocus calibration fail when I’ve had the honeycomb workbench on the base plate, maybe 50% of the time it fails. Same result if I place a material that’s too thick on the base plate. With only the base plate though it’s fairly consistent for me. Similarly, if I try autofocus from within Falcon Design Space or Lightburn with the honeycomb or very thick material then I get an error.
After I followed the guide in this video to calibrate the Z-axis most of those calibration errors have gone.
Yes, I followed that video multiple times and always the calibration failed at the end. I tried with and without the honeycomb, same result. Don’t know what is the situation that make it fail, hope the new firmware will fix this
Don’t worry about doing the online if you do the manual calibration. If you are trying to auto calibrate the honeycomb you need to put a piece of paper on top of the honeycomb. Make sure you do the camera calibration as well using the white card with dots on it. Be sure it is very flat with no curves on the sides , that can make it fail.
Has anyone seen or heard of any updates for the A1 Pro to address the auto focus issue. I know they talked or showed a firmware coming but i still have not seen any more on it.
