I just got my printer, got it all set up, followed all the instructions, and it looks like it should be working, but it’s not.

I’ve gone through the auto bed leveling, then adjusted the height with a piece of paper. Now, trying to run my first test print, the only thing the printer will do is attempt to auto-level itself. If I let it go, it will just do it over and over. If I hit the stop button, it gives me error message 203 (Probing Failed), the screen locks up, and the printer keeps attempting to auto-level over and over. The only thing I can do is turn it off.

What am I missing?

Edit: So it turns out the included test files are no good. I downloaded a benchy and it printed just fine.

    Adjust with paper and the knobs first to get it mostly level then use the ABL probe. “Auto bed leveling” is a misnomer. It generates a mesh of the bed and then compensates in software but it can only do so much.

      I’ve tried that already, no matter what order I do things in, instead of printing it just keeps going through the ABL process. It will heat up the nozzle and the bed, and then just probe the bed in 16 different places, then center itself, and start over.
