Firmware was updated a while back, but think the grinding started a lot after I did the upgrade. Update was done through Cura connected through USB to the Ultimaker. Grinding happens when I change filament or start of a print. It does it when the print head is moved to front and center. I have honed the axes many times. Once print starts, everything works find and no grinding.
I do have a recent update and have to admit, I didn't look for the grinding, but it didn't happen on the first print that is still running. I replaced the heater cartridge and hot end pack. Somewhere along the way, the heater cartridge got broken (wire). After assembly, I loaded a print job and it didn't grind and print looked great. Filament loaded fine as well. I'll run it through the tests after this print job finishes.
