WHAT DO I DO IF I RECEIVE A HOMING ERROR?

A homing error occurs when the extruder nozzle does not reseat properly after pressing against the build plate during homing.

You may see a message on the LCD screen that is similar to : HOMING ERROR. Homing failed.

How to Resolve a Homing Error
  1. Make sure your build plate is firmly in place and not crooked or resting on top of the platform.
  2. Load and unload filament in an attempt to reseat the nozzle. As you load, apply a small amount of downward force to help push the filament through the extruder. 
  3. Wait until the extruder cools and push up on the nozzle to see if it fully returns to its seated position in the bracket. You might need to move the nozzle back and forth, tap it a few times, or manually pull down on it to get it seated.
