Print head chrashes into corner

Posted (edited) · Print head chrashes into corner

Since this week i have a curious problem with my Ultimaker 2+...

When i finish a print, let it cool down and print a new file again, the print head chrashes into the left back corner and does not stop until i flip the switch.

I had this problem right now again, it looks like the endstops do not send a signal to the board, but they are all okay and work when a print is finished.

I use Tinkergnome 17.10.1 since a month now and everything works great, till that happens after the cooldown phase and starting a new print without restarting the printer.

After i restart the printer, everything is working again as it should.

I have some other problems too, but they were mostly solved and have nothing to do with this.

I have the printer about two years now and maintance is done regulary each month, but the most problems started early summer this year or better said, since the waranty is over.

It also got a Bondtech DDG extruder a while ago and some other stuff.

 

Could it be a bug in the TG firmware? I do not want to change it, i like the system and the infos it puts out very much.

 

EDIT: Problem solved, it is a bug in the firmware, can be closed!

    Can you elaborate it a bit more? I also use 17.10.1 but haven't seen the bug yet.

    Sure 🙂

     

    After a print ends, you let everything cool down and then start a new print, it can happen (it musn't) that the system doesn't register the endstop switches and drives the printhead into the corner till you abort the print or cut off the power.

     

    The reason of this could be the geek mode, disabling it can provide less stress on the system, as i read it.

     

    I powercycle the machine now after each print, i don't want to change the belts tjat early.

      • 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.
