· my UM3 Extended is experiencing multiple errors after being moved to a new location
I cannot say about the leveling issue, but the other two issues could easily be the result of the move. Not so much damage as more like a torsion pull on parts that may have slightly pulled a cable to two loose. The frame is flexible and can twist and pull a bit.
Also, I have not moved or damaged my printer, been printing along merrily and I have had the "detected movement outside of print volume..." error twice in the last month with the latest firmware upgrade. I have also seen the error reported in other threads by people who upgraded. Not sure of the specifics.

Have you checked if all connectors are still well inserted? Just every connector you can find? Gently (!) wiggle it and push it back on. Also visually check if everything is still aligned well and no corners are damaged from rough handling.
After moving mainframe computers in the 1980s (they had many 21" racks then, see the photo), it was standard practice for us to open the cabinet, and to reseat all print boards, and all flatcables, from the very first to the last. Because they would shake loose during transport on a truck. This solved 90% of problems caused by moving.

Thanks, will definitely check and secure all the connections tomorrow once I bring in my screw driver set. At the moment it's around 3 hours in and still printing, fingers cross it'll keep going while I sleep.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
