[X-axis suddenly forgets its place!]

Hello C.

Thank you for your response! I did not expect that fast and such in-depth feedback.

Yes, there were some warping on this model. I will try to print a single vertical tube and see what happens. If there are no errors then the warping can be the cause of this problem.

All best,

D

 

[X-axis suddenly forgets its place!]

 

Hello dear UM community,

 

Help needed! My colleague and I received our pre-assembled Ultimaker earlier this week for our design studio.

 

It printed very well the first couple of tests, then yesterday the X-axis suddenly jumped 9-10mm to the left. This was printed using the latest version of Cura for Mac (via the UltiController). Then my colleague tried with a different STL and with Cura for Windows and the same thing happend (only at a different height and different lengts - 3mm off track).

 

I'm including an image my third try (with the error happening at a different height as the others). All the belts are tight and I can move the XY axis easily. My settings in Cura (13.03) were:

 

Layer height: 0.2mm

Wall thickness: 2,8mm

Retraction: ON

Fill Density: 20%

Print speed: 50mm/s

Print temp: 210

Support: Everywhere

Raft: ON

Duplicate outlines: ON

(the rest are the standard settings)
