I am pretty new at this and i printed a small object the other day without any problems but now i get this when i started printing a bigger box.

I use ABS plastic and i just use excellent printing with high fill (50%)
Is the bed to warm or something else?
Well it seems that moving around the printer have gotten the calibration gone haywire.
Now i have to calibrate it again which i am NOT good at and cant find any useful guides to it
Look here in the Da vinci section.. There is sticky on bed leveling but it applies to all printers.

Yeah well im pretty sure my printer is broken. It can differ to almost a 150 from each calibration and that is WITHOUT touching the dials.
So doing nothing and it still gives different numbers. Well im certain its dead and done for. 
hang in there and fix it. the joys of sub $500 printers.

If you ran the calibration process I specified then you would not know what the printer is reporting as you will never use the built in procedure again. After all it is faulty.
I used to have the same problem when starting out with the da vinci then I used Carl's method and never looked back.
Your printer isn't faulty. The auto cal never worked in the first place !
Sorry guys i only just skimmed the article while i ran the second test. The one where i didnt adjust anything and then showed me something way off.
I will try this when i go home. But isnt a piece of paper too thin?

The paper method is a standard method used by many people.
The thickness of a piece of paper is pretty much the correct distance between nozzle and bed to get a good first layer that sticks well.
You might need to make tiny adjustments to the bed to get it just right but paper will get you close enough to begin with if it's not exactly right first time.
I must say thank you for linking that guide Carl. I have no idea what the F.. those people tried to accomplish with that built in calibration.
I am sorry i quickly skipped it. But it prints perfectly now. 
No problem, that's why I wrote it up. i had a 1.0 once and it was Hell using their method. I had other printers so I said forget XYZ and calibrated the 1.0 the same way you do other printers and worked great.
I tried the calibration once, their method was so counter intuitive that it just got worse. I too now just do the method mentioned above, much easier and works well.
