How to Fix the Auto-Leveling Error for the M5C Printer

Cause of Failure:

When leveling an exception, the AnkerMake App will display a pop-up window as shown in the figure below. There are several possible reasons:

  1. Z-axis motor abnormality (motor itself, motor wire looseness, Marlin drive).
  2. Marlin data transmission timeout.
  3. Point data is abnormal.
  4. The strain gauge sensor signal line is loose.

 

Solution:

Follow these steps one by one:

  1. Clean the Nozzle and PEI Board:
    1. Wipe the nozzle and PEI board clean. Ensure the nozzle has no residual material, and the PEI board has no models or leftover consumables.
  2. Check the Z-axis Motor Wire:
    1. Ensure the Z-axis motor wire is not loose.

Check the Strain Gauge Sensor Signal Line:

  • Ensure the strain gauge sensor signal line is not loose.

Update the Firmware:

  • Make sure the firmware is up to date.

Restart the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer and turn it back on.

Restore Factory Settings:

  • Use a 1.5mm hex wrench to press the reset button in the small hole next to the USB port. Hold for 3 seconds until you hear a beep, then release.

 
  1. Re-level the Printer:
    1. After completing the above steps, re-level the printer and confirm the leveling result.
