HI, I finally buy and install a Sonic Pad on my Ender 5 s1 (with z limit switch). I am now trying to fine tune it. Has anybody successfully level the heating bed? I spend 10 hours and multiple attempts to level it, I have buy a magnetic pei bed and I cant get it level perfectly. I have a much slower, old and inferior printer without bltouch and its not so hard to level! Why is Ender 5 S1 so bad at leveling. Can anyone give me some advice?
I think you also posted that your Ender 5 S1 also has a CR-Touch on some other social media?
Yes, It has cr-touch and z switch. I understand, it is the first model, after this comes without z switch.
It seems that every time y try to print it never home z axis at the same step. Sometimes is to close and sometimes to far, its not consistent.
listen to someone who is using a Sonic Pad, Ender 5 S1, that has a CR-Touch and no z-limit switch, that does work every time OR don’t, it is your choice to be driven crazy.
Ok, I have some updates on this thread. I manual levelled the hot bed with a feler gauge, and has it very levelled, but when the printer makes the mesh, all goes wrong. The left side is to high. No mater if when printing I re adjust it to make it flat again. The next time the printer makes the mesh again the left side is high. I tried to rest to factory the Sonicpad and select the other profile (the one with no z-switch) but this is incorrect because the crtouch is located in a different location and when doing the mesh it gets out of the bed. Has anyone has any thoughts? Is there a hardware problem? Should I go for a refund?
Edit the printer.cfg for the probe location.
Thanks for the reply, I know that i can change that but I think this version wont resolve the issue. I being reading a lot and I think the problem is the twisted axis, my printer is the first version.
