Different offset at each first layer

Posted · Different offset at each first layer

Greetings!

I got a problem since a few weeks wich i am unable to solve.

I started a thread in the german section already, but i thought it would maybe help if i ask this here too.

 

Problem: Everytime i start a new print, the nozzle has a different offset to the glas on my Ultimaker 2+.

The most time i had this problem after changing to Tinkergnome, now i use the custom FW from Bondtech, because i have a DDG Extruder installed.

It seems that the problem occurs less, but the first print today had almost contact with the printbed!

 

I do not know why it happens, i dont changed anything related to this and i make a maintenance every month.

The only hardware i changed a little time ago were the linear bearings in the printhead and a new ptfe coupler.

The rails are all oiled with Unilube and the Z-Screw with Magnalube.

 

This all started in late summer 2020, but it only happened at a few prints and never occured again till November 2020.

I checked everything that i could think of causing this problem, but nothing.

Everything works fine (besides a little more noise than usual, maybe need to change the bushings) and the print quality is also like on day 1.

 

Also nothing suspicious in the Gcode of my files, i have Cura 4.8 in use.

 

It is the only problem i can not solve and that bothers me, because i have to sit in front of the printer every time, hoping the offset is in acceptable distance.

I have this printer aber more than 2 years now and can tell when something is wrong and what causes it, but this....no idea.

        (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.
