Yeah, well, I can't add a +1 on that, mine came totally misaligned, and the tool to align the axles were not in the box, needed to print them on my Prusa, how funny. Almost forgot about that, such a good start with this machine...

I don't do the xy calibration anymore. The printer comes so well built that for most people it's not necessary. I lost my calibration and I just use the defaults of 0 and 0.
So when you do a print and it touches with the right nozzle, watch it carefully it should then switch to the left nozzle and do the same movements. It should actually touch the glass (sometimes it doesn't - take note). then it should do up to about 24 calibration points - fewer if you have a small print - if your print is small enough it might do say only 9 points. Does it get to this step?
Then it heats up the bed and printcores. Now they were already hot before the bed leveling procedure but it turns off all power to heaters during the calibration to keep from that electronic noise from messing up the bed leveling. So expect a delay at this point by up to 5 minutes for PLA and 10 minutes for high temp materials like ABS.
I can't help you with the xy cal as I don't know the failure modes well but I have seen many failure modes on the leveling.
Also do you have the air manager (top cover thing with filter and fan) or the material station (box under the printer that holds up to I think 6 spools)?
