UM3 Latest firmware seems ignoring Z calibration of 2 nozzles on Active Leveling

Posted (edited) · UM3 Latest firmware seems ignoring Z calibration of 2 nozzles on Active Leveling

here's the situation:

 

Z Distance between the nozzle in Core 1 and Core 2 seemed not remembered by the firmware, or it is ignored during print, or something went wrong during calibration.

 

Core 1 will always be well calibrated and printing well, however, Core 2 will always got pressed too close to the bed that blocks the filaments from coming out.

After Active leveling, Core 2 nozzle always pressed too close the bed during print, as if it is ignoring the result done during calibration..

 

after running more of tests, it seems that Manual Leveling does not have this issue.

 

I have done a lot of tests, switching print cores(i have purchased one extra print core), and the result is the same.

So i guess it is not the problem of the print cores but something is wrong with the machine doing Z calibration.

And it seemd to me the machine is ignoring the Z calibration that is done in active leveling, so every time when print started, it went all the way pressing nozzle too close to bed again.

 

Not sure if this is a firmware issue but i would like to post here to see if it shines any clues.

Some other users also have this similar problem and is forced to print on one nozzle (Core 1),

unless one kept doing manual leveling and forces the machine to never do auto leveling thus not to override manual leveling setting.

And this seemed to happen fairly recently, so i guess it could be something about the latest firmware update.

Can you start a print with Active Leveling enabled and when you see the problem dump the log files to usb?

Send all the log files to me in a private message.

    Did you ever solve this?  Since the prior firmware snafu, I had my active leveling to always which was fine.  Tonight I thought to myself, oh the latest firmware fixed that, so I changed my autoleveling to either weekly or automatic, I forget which, and I had the "press too close to the plate" issue.  I only noticed because I had heard weird sounds coming from my printers extruder for core 2, and then when I looked at the plate, I realized that it was too close so the filament wasnt getting pushed through.  

     

    Thanks in advance!

    @bsaygan I haven't received a log file yet so couldn't look into this problem. Could you email me the log files for the failure situation?

    Since I'm on vacation I will be slow in responding.

    I'm now waiting almost a month for the requested log files....  😪

    Without the log files I can't convince our management to put the probem high on the actions list.

    Please people. help me helping you! 

    This works two ways. You correctly complain about problems, but when I want to help you, you should give me some pointers.

     

    Please mail me the log files using the message function of this forum (hover over my name next to this post and from the menu that pops up select the 'message' option). 

    Create the log files by performing an Active Leveling function and then from the Maintenance menu choose the option 'Dump logs to USB'. Ensure to include all generated files, including the probe report files.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
