Hi,

I am new to this but have managed to successfully print for the first 2 weeks after purchase of ultimaker 3. Now I have levelling isssues. It repeatedly fails active levelling. In manual levelling, I rotate the wheel for back position then it comes forward to the right asking to space 1mm away but I am as far away as can be using the screw and the nozzle is still touching the plate. Same with the left position. Can anyone advise please?

    You probably have to adjust the rear screw to be looser. I would start from scratch: put the rear screw at mid position - half way between all the way down and all the way up. Then start the manual leveling.

    The 1mm thing is just very rough so the head doesn't slam into the glass or clips during the real leveling. I also strongly recommend leveling such that the nozzle touches the glass (no paper) but not everyone agrees with me.

      • 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.
