I am a teacher in a high school with an Ulitmaker Original printer. We've had the printer for about a year and now there are issues. It's been used maybe 10 times.
It seems that the printer is "Lost" when it goes to start a print.
1) I recalibrated the print head by moving it to each axis and listening for the click.
2) I adjusted the bed height using the paper and nozzle trick.
3) When I try to print a file that I know works (from previous use) using the SD card, the printer head goes to the wrong spot and just moves in random lines.
Help! My printer isn't working well

any help would be much appreciated. I don't know much about all this but I would love to have my students do a design and build project soon!
