UM3 Printhead Hits X Limit Switch but Moves Slightly Beyond It and Crashes

Posted (edited) · UM3 Printhead Hits X Limit Switch but Moves Slightly Beyond It and Crashes

When the printhead on my Ultimaker 3 is homing the x position, it hits the x limit switch but goes slightly beyond it and crashes into the housing.  It then vibrates before moving away from the wall.  Is there a fix or calibration that can solve this?  I just did a factory reset by plugging a microSD card into my Olimex board (because of a frozen screen).  Before this, the crashing would happen every now and then but now it is happening every time I try to load a new material for example.  When the printhead moves directly toward the corner and hits the switches, there is no problem, but when it tries to home x before y it often crashes.  When the printhead is at the home position and moves away from it in y, it eventually crashes into the side wall.  I'm not sure if this could also be some kind of alignment issue.

    las aletas de final de carrera de x o y (sensores) son una laminillas que con el huso se doblan hacia dentro, con el dedo o un destornillador dobla la aleta suavemente hacia afuera para que tenga un poco mas de recorrido y el cabezal la detecte nuevamente.

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
