    As the title says , i really need some help trying to fix this problem , ive been at it for days and finally decided to come here for help. So what I have been doing is playing around with the M565 line in the G-code, BTW im using Repetier with the newest Robo3d R1. So on my first layer , or skirt , the right side is too high , when it get closer to the left side I can actually see the filament being swished. I have tried grabbing one of the threaded rod and and turning the other, as well as doing both of them so they just "click" at the same time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also id someone could explain to me what the M565 line does, because i change it very little and have way different results. I have also checked all my connection too. Heres the log I just had to kill on the last print

    Yes I have read that quite a few times and tried the steps suggested , I dont know if im doing something wrong or what. But in that thread where they say if the head is on the glass when powered on it throws it off? Even though I am sure to not have it on the glass when turning it off

    Home the printer and raise the nozzle a papers width above the bed. You should be able to slide the carriage back and forth without the nozzle height changing. This will improve autolevel accuracy

    So when I make adjustments , whether it be in G code or moving the xyz, well g code I know will stay the same , but using the controls through repetier, do those changes go back to whatever they were before when I start a new print?

    I'm not entirely following your question.

    If you start a print then try moving it with manual controls it will return to its previously calculated position.

    Well yes that is kinda one thing I was wondering about lol. But what about when your not printing and just using the jog controls to move the head closer to the bed? Also I noticed , from the other robo3ds I have seen , the switches on the threaded rod have a a roller type switch , where mine is just the switch with a small button on top. I'm sure these work the same way, but I was wondering if that could throw something off

    Nope they're the same. Haven't seen any with rollers

    When you start a print it sends a G28 or home all axis, which resets the coordinate system. Anything done before this is overwritten and new coordinates are used
