    I've set up Cura, and have the printer communicating to the computer. When I attempt to use the "bed leveling wizard" it sends me to the first step where it asks for me to adjust the height of the printer head with the command buttons.

    However, when I click "up 0.2mm" or "up 10mm" nothing happens. When I click "down 0.2mm" or "down 10mm" it moves up the amount specified.

    I'm really worried the wiring is messed up.

    Thanks,

    I dont believe we use the "bed leveling wizard" in Cura with the Robos, I believe there are issues with it as you have experienced.

    What version of the Robo3d do you have, did you buy it recently?

    Use the Auto Bed Leveling. Go to your Start G code and modify it after the M107

    For the M565 closer to 0 gets you closer to the bed make sure you put the negative in also

    G28
    M565 Z-1.0 ; Adjust this to get the proper first layer height
    G29 ; Run Auto-Level
    G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ; move Z up 15mm
    G92 E0 ; Zero Extruder
    G1 F200 E3 ; Extrude 3mm
    G92 E0 ; Zero Extruder
    G1 F{travel_speed}
    M117 Printing

    Yeah, the G-code has the line:

    M565 Z-1.0

    I'm starting to find other people who have a similar problem, but can print just fine. So I'm starting to think it's the software.

    Try using Repetier. See if the commands work fine there.

    The bed leveling wizard is not the auto leveling it is meant for machines with adjustable beds. The R1 does not have an adjustable bed, so you need to use the auto level feature. I use Cura and thats the code I run but my Z is -0.7

    That makes sense. Thanks. Once I get home I'll try using the auto level feature instead, and I'll also look into Repetier.

    Thanks
