[Ultimaker 3 Extended crashes badly at the start of bed levelling procedure]

Hi gr5

 

Thanks again! I think you might be right on the power brick, I have turned off the heated bed and could get the print started. Will check again when I get back from work.

[Ultimaker 3 Extended crashes badly at the start of bed levelling procedure]

Hi gr5

Many thanks for your suggestions, I have lifted the build plate during the limit switch test as you suggest, that all seem fine and the switch disengages correctly. There doesn't seem to be any plastic waste in or around the switch. The axis move fine and I have oiled them again to ensure smooth operation. I  

I taken a video of the issue but I can seem to attach movie files to messages in this forum? Weirdly it also seem to happen at the particular point of the cycle, I guess it might the be power supply, but there doesn't seem to be any issues with heating the nozzles which would draw more power - could it be the main board?

 

Cheers

Hi Marimakers 

 

Thank you so much for your reply. I have just run the limit switch test and it shows constant contact (X) on the Z in the home position, with X and Y registering an X when I press them manually - I presume that is all correct?

Hi All

 

My Ultimaker 3 crashes at the start of bed levelling procedure. The printer starts up ok but as soon as the head starts to move towards the centre for the bed checking/levelling procedure it crashes badly, meaning complete shut down with power loss. I can move the bed up and down fine and there is no problem with charging filament. I have also have carried out the axis speed test - which was also fine. I have done a factory reset and also updated to the latest firmware. I would be really grateful for any ideas on what could be wrong.

 

Cheers
