Taz 6.

It’s about a month old. Bed leveling process starts normally. It does the “double touch” on the first two (front) washers. Goes to the third washer. The head starts down but it does NOT touch, maybe 4 mm (?) from touching the washer and then goes straight over to do a rewipe.

At first I assumed it was a dirty head but I got it nice and shiny clean and changed the wiper pad. Still no joy so then I lightly buffed the washer up with 220 sand paper and made it nice and shiny then cleaned with IPA.

Only then did I realize it the print head does not make it down the washer. **It is not failing to ‘sense’ contact it simply is NOT making contact.**

Youtube vid. The vid starts on washer 2. you can see the double tap. I get a little out of frame getting out of the way of the moving bed but at the 19 second mark pause it then go frame by frame… It never touches washer 3…It does not even come close!
