First layers okay, but a scratching nozzle off 5cm and more

Good moring from Germany. 

My prints with my UM2+ and Octoprint are good - but I have one mystery. 
My first layers are beautiful. But after about 5cm the nozzle is scratching on the printed object. Like the z-direction ist not lowering the buildplate enough. 
It's okay when I print an object, which has a good sticky stand on the plate. When not, the nozzle is kicking it away. 

Of course I did a buildplate leveling - but the result is the same. 
And it doesn't matter if I print left or right, front or back - always the same problem: Scratching nozzle on the object after some cm....

 

Has anybody an idea what I should do next - or did anybody had the same problem and has a solution for me?

 


Thanks, Holger

    Is this happening on walls that are tilted?  Overhangs?  if so then this is very common and you can probably ignore it.  The cure is usually more fan but by default your fan should be at 100% already so you can probably ignore it.

      • 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.
