I'm having trouble with the extrusion carriage not clearing the print and balling up the print extrustion. I'm wondering if it is possible that the nib is not clearing the carriage enough though I have no idea how far below it, it is supposed to extend.

Please see photoIMG_9845.jpg

Thank you in advance.

    Are you talking about how the bottom layer isn't sticking to the glass but instead ending up no the nozzle? If so you need to move the glass closer to the nozzle. You can verify this by pushing up on the glass while printing the bottom layer.

    The quick fix is to just rotate the 3 bed leveling screws CCW to move the glass up closer to the nozzle. Or relevel but level with no paper so that the nozzle is touching the glass. Also heat the nozzle and clean the tip before leveling.

      • 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.
