Posted · filament feeds reverese at start

I just bought a used Ultimaker Original plus to learn about 3D printers and hoping someone can help with a few growing pains.  

 

When I go to start a print the filament gets pulled back from the print head about 12" then slowly feeds back to the print head.  The printer starts moving but it will be at least 2 minutes before the filament has been feed back to the print head missing the start of laying a good base.

 

The other question is when I go to level bed through Cura I found the Z axis on the machine has been moved down 3mm so I need to bring it back to zero in the lcd display on the machine.  Is this normal.

 

Thanks in advanced for any help

        In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
