Do you mean the limit switch or the rod, neither are bent ? I can tell you its definitely not the limit switches as it'll home just fine with no issue and every other step it needs to reach them it clicks them with no issue. I keep getting suggested that its missing steps but it confuses me how it can be going too far when missing motor steps, the print head seems to just try and push its self past the boundary of the printer into the far right back corner and then tries to switch misses (I've done the switch calibration a dozen times with no issue it seems to only be when its trying to print does it have this issue or bed leveling) Friction wise I have no issue moving the head around with one finger on each side, the rods have been good and lubricated for some time

I've tried all of these solutions and I'm still having the issue, I've checked my limit switch and havent found any issues with them. Did the lift switch calibration with no issue and the test after. Reset to factor defaults (did the switch calibration again) and then tried to reinstall the firmware via usb but I can't seem to do it correctly as it just keeps saying searching for update or something along those lines

any advice on this?

Any chance that you have a copy of this link? That one doesnt seem to be working

which solution was the fix for you? We have been having this same issue with our Ultimaker 3 and I have tried all three fixes listed and it seems to still be going to far back to the right and missing encoded steps.

Hey, sorry for the long wait for these. We got busy with other projects and put the Ultimaker 3 on hold. Here are the photos of the limit switches, no visible bends or any defects in them

I thought that as well, but it seems to have no issue homing or preforming a switch test. Is there a separate limit switch it uses during printing or something different that would make the one that usually works not work in this case?

So our Ultimaker S3 extended seems to have decided that the switch for changing the extruder head is further back than it actually is while printing, I say while printing because I can run a switch calibration test and it works fine but when it tries to change materials during a print it goes to the right and then back towards the switch and then it just keeps trying to go back until I can hear the motor grinding. Then when it tries to move to print (some times I'll move the lever myself to see where it prints) it doesn't print anywhere near the calibrated location (I've run the X & Y calibration multiple times as well. We're running the latest firm ware, so no issues there. I saw one other forum post where someone had these same issues and I did try all their fixes with no luck I'll link that Any advice would be appricaited, I'm pulling my hair out at this point
