I believe my belt is slipping on my y motor and it is causing it to shift my print mid print. I've only printed 3 things and they were each fairly small printing in about 2 hours but lately been trying to print something that takes just over 3 hours and it shifts near the end every time I also tried a different model with a long time as well and ran into the same problem. when trying to figure out what was going on I felt the tension in all the belts and that belt was rather lose I loosened the motor and lowered it as much as possible and got the same issue any advice.

    did the belt actually tighten? You need to press down really hard as you tighten the motor screws.

    You can also check all the screws in the pulleys, They need to be super tight.

      • 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.
