Moving issues while printing


Recommended Posts

Posted · Moving issues while printing

Hey guys,

I am facing an absolutely crazy problem.

If I start a print all goes well, until he starts with the first layer.

After some cm of printing, the printhead stops moving and after some time (~1min) it moves ahead. This process is repeating itself all ~5 cm of printhead movement. During this stopping time, filament is coming out and ruining the print.

For me it looks like something is lagging.

The printer itself still reacts normally to the button.

Following attempts were made to find a solution:

- sliced a different model in CURA 2.5

- updated firmware with CURA 2.5

and now I am out of ideas.

Hope you can help me.

Regards,

Klaus

    Are your printhead shafts aligned and well lubricated? Can you move the head easily by hand?

    Try spraying the SD card slot with a little canned air.

    Hi,

    after my holidays I checked it.

    The head can easily be moved - just the resistance of the stepper motors.

    I blew in the SD-slot and no change at all.

    Any other suggestions?

    Have you updated to the latest stable version of the firmware yet?

    Please check: System -> Maintenance, then move over the choice "Update firmware". At the bottom you will see the current version, which looks something like:

    X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDD

      • 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.
