This means the probe is moving into those 9 points, but the bed is aproximately 10 cm away.<br />2) after this &quot;calibration&quot;, when it starts printing, its doing it at those centimeters in the air (estimative 10 cm, but I dont believe the exact distance is that important).</p><p>Please post the exact code that I should have in the starting Gcode. Thank you !</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I dont think is the extruder. I can actually see that extruder head is 1-2 mm in the air, in the area where the curly lines are (down of pictures) and I can hear the scratches when up of the picture. The probe appears to work (when it checks the 9 points the returned result seems ok). Other ideas ?</p>]]></content>

Take a close look at the contacts as the printer head passing over the areas you have pictured in the top right. Mine was shorting and caused similar issues. IF there is no short then the leveling is too close as you suspected, not sure how to fix that other than having the probe do it&#039;s thing..double check your G-code in this case.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I increased my infill to 35%, and I no longer have holes in the tops of my prints. The infill lines in Cura are so close together even at 35% that I almost thought I&#039;d set it to 100% infill, which makes for a very solid top surface indeed.</p>]]></content>
