Posted · help! Loud noise when printer trying to lift build plate???

I just set my Ultimaker 2 to print, and when it tried to lift the build plate, it made a really loud grinding noise, the build plate didn't move any where, i just got really scared and turned it off, and came on here.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi @lukem96,

    You don't happen to have a recording of the sound?

    I am guessing something held down your bed and your motor was skipping steps.

    It can sound intimidating, but is pretty harmless.

    Is there an obstruction?

    Can you manually move it up and down?

    If it has the same problem our UM2 has (almost new machine) - the Z axis bearings bind\stick - the grinding sound would be the motor struggling and failing to step.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
