My prints were not sticking to the bed so I was going to calibrate the machine.   This happened before and doing a calibration solved the problem.   I did two calibrations and still a fail so when I turned the screws for the third time to calibrate.....the nozzle will now not move to the left.   The head "reads" the bed on the back right and the front right.   When trying to move to the left it won't move.   Makes a clicking noise and I have to shut the printer off for it to quit.

I need help!


Sounds like your bed is now too high and the head is catching. Back the screws down a bit and try again.. Also don't rely on the auto cal it is not accurate and does not set for the right values needed for actual printing. Use the manual method posted as a sticky at the top of this section.
