3rd screw for bed leveling?

The bed uses 3 screws to level. It's a 3 axis level system. For calibration you just turn them. You mean the ones down the plate two in front and one on the bad of the lower plate on the center right?

    Yeah, that's for leveling. As @IRobertI says, you can use it for that. On um2 it's faster to level, on my umo+ I use it always for leveling or when changing nozzles, etc. When you calibrate it, readjust the ones in the front.

    strange Ultimaker never mentions this screw in their manual...

    when i read the bed leveling section : https://ultimaker.com/nl/support/view/17083-bed-leveling They don't mention the 3rd screw, weird?

    I'm guessing that's because it's not needed 95% of the time.

    On umo+, since the endstop it's on the upper side and can be moved, it's part of the leveling assistant on cura

    Check minute 3,20-3,30

     

    Um2 endstop it's on the bottom and the firmware assistant it's more advance (someday Ultimaker could improve it since its the same bed hardware).

      • 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.
