    Hi. I just bought my Robo 3D R1 (upgraded version). All went well until i was trying todo my 1º print, the printer goes around trying to print but the nozzle touches the glass bed. I tried cura and the nozzle looks like only starts to print on the 2 pass.
    Can someone help me?

    Thanks, Nuno.

    I was looking at mine thinking it was touching but when I put my face way down there an looked it was actually a very thin layer of plastic. And in fact what I thought was scaring was just a micro thing layer of extruded plastic laying over my print. After switching to Cura this has become less apparent.

    It has to touch the bed to verify endstop as well as perform the auto-leveling sequence. In all it touches the bed in 10 spots by default, one during endstop discovery and nine more times during auto-level.

    Yeah the bed flexes a bit.
    Higher negative numbers (more negative) move the adjusted 0.00 location away from the top of the bed.

    It worked. but i have an issue when the printer does the last calibration point it drags the nozzle on the bed making noise until it starts the print in the midle.

    I just had the same problem. Add something like this: G1 Z5.0 to the end of your "Start G-Code under Settings, Printer, Custom G-code in Matter control, or elsewhere in other software.

    The printbed flexes a bit during leveling. It's not bending the glass, just taking up some slack in the mechanics of the Y axis. Don't worry, it's normal.
