Wrong Scale on Z axis after firmware update

Posted · Wrong Scale on Z axis after firmware update

Hello,

I updated the Firmware on my ultimaker and now the scale on the z axis is always wrong.

A part which is 36 mm in z direction in cura, is only 22 mm high after printing.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Cheers,

Matthias

    Sounds as if the number of steps per mm is wrong in the firmware. I guess, you compiled your own version of Marlin or built it at marlinbuilder.robotfuzz.com? If it's the second, check the number there; it should be 8/3*200=533.33333 (as long as you use the standard z thread and motor). If you have an Ulticontroller, you can check there.

    EDIT: You can also use the M92 code in your start.gcode (UM1, correct?)

      • 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.
