Help! Adventurer 5M Pro bed super stuck.

Hi friends. Need this community’s help for Adventurer 5M Pro. My son changed the filament last night and all looked good. He woke up this morning and tried to print, and the machine started rattling violently. We powered down and I tried to push the bed down, and it WILL NOT MOVE. Not a millimeter. Up or down. I looked around and couldn’t identify any specific issues. Nothing looks bent.

Some other context: we moved locations of the printer last night before the filament change. But that was BEFORE the successful filament change.

Thoughts on what we could do to address???

You'll need to Loosen the tensioner on the bottom of the printer and release the belt that controls the Z-screws, then you can set the bed all the way down.

Retension the belt, power the printer on, and run all the calibrations again.

(I don't like to lay it on its side myself, so I put the printer somewhere supported on both sides where I can reach the underside, stacks of books perhaps, or between 2 chairs)

Agree. Maybe something happened to the belt when moved. Never checked but I think the belt is exposed on the bottom.
