Active leveling issue

Posted · Active leveling issue

I just recently got the Ultimaker S3, and the filaments that I started with were PVA and PLA tough, and PLA tough was working fine. Then I switched the PVA with generic PLA. That’s when the generic PLA wasn’t adhering properly, and I made the fatal mistake of manual leveling to see if that could help. 


After the  manual leveling, I’ve been trying to make prints throughout the day, and when it does the auto leveling before it starts, it pushes the nozzle too far down towards the bed, and the left side of the bed keeps rising a little further after the right side of the table already hit the nozzle. 

I searched all day long for any possible fixes, and then fell into the rabbit hole of Googling my heart out for any suggestions. I figured that I should try to peak my head outta the rabbit hole, and see if I could get any possible fixes on here?

    Hi,

    What you are seeing with the bed being pressed into the nozzle and the left side of the build plate still moving up abit is the normal action for the active leveling. 

     

    It does one print core, then swaps to the other print core and does the same action. it will then home and do the point leveling of the bed. So it's totally normal what you are seeing.

     

    Have a Marry Xmas.

    Carla.

        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.
