Print head always stops in the same position

Posted · Print head always stops in the same position

Good afternoon,

 

we are having the following problem with our Ultimaker 3:

Every time we print parts in a specific area of the build plate, the print head always stops at the same position (in the front, on the right-hand side) after having printed a few layers (approx. 10 layers).Our Ultimaker 3 will only print the parts, if they are placed on the build plate in a certain way, so that the position in which the print head would stop is avoided.

 

What's responsible for this error and how can we fix it?

 

Thank you in advance!

    Just to rule out something simple: is the 'Pause at Height' activated?

    Look under, Extensions  - Post Processing - Modify gcode.

    Once activated it stays there until you deactivate it, and it is easy to forget....

        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.
