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.

Yeah thats weird, I was thinking instead of recalling the mesh it was re-running it instead. It may still be from that but I figured the pre-sliced test files would work fine if that were the case. I've set up about 10 S1 Pro's at this point and haven't encountered that before. As someone else mentioned it may be worth looking into aftermarket 3rd party firmware options. If its not a gcode issue that leads me to think its something with the printer firmware. At work right now but let me know if you need any help and I'll try to reply tonight.
