I have had it hit the print if there is curling and such on edges. And, I have found that having the springs not too tight will let it give a bit if it hits a blob or something. That usually happens when the priming tower fails and it drags some plastic onto an area and creates a not so even surface.
But I have never had the print get hit so strong though, that it could move the plate. The clips may be a bit loose.
If the plate clips are loose, try to push them down, with the plate not in place, a bit to grip the plate better.
Also, how did you level? Manual? Active? I usually have to do a manual every now and then to bring it back into alignment after changing buildplates many times, or if I banged the plate with me clumsy fingers and bounced the plate down on the springs, but I always run an active after that.
Yup, maybe that's the issue. I've always used active leveling. Now, I'll calibrate Z axis once again, and do the manual leveling for the first time. Maybe the springs and the screws was the problem. Thank you for the reply!
