Automatic Bed Leveling Mesh Generation Failed
Quick Answer
Error code LEVELING_FAILED on your Creality FDM 3D Printers means: Automatic Bed Leveling Mesh Generation Failed. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Likely Causes
  1. Probe triggered prematurely due to vibration or electrical noise
  2. Bed surface has significant warping beyond probe compensation range
  3. Probe mount is loose causing inconsistent measurements
  4. Z offset is incorrectly set causing the probe to trigger too early or the nozzle to crash
How to Fix It
1
Ensure the probe mount is securely fastened with no play or wobble
2
Manually verify the Z offset by homing and slowly lowering the nozzle to the bed with a piece of paper
3
Run the leveling procedure again in a vibration-free environment (disable any nearby fans or machines)
4
Check the bed surface for significant warping using a straightedge
5
In Klipper, review the bed mesh output with BED_MESH_OUTPUT to check for anomalous probe points
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
