    That is 90% likely that your leveled too high.  To prove it, push up on the bed a little while it's printing and you should find that it starts sticking just fine.

    My printer - the bed only moves up and down.  Your printer it also moves in Y direction so it might not work with your printer.  But the idea is - while it's printing the bottom layer (and failing), put your finger under the bed and lift the bed up a little bit.  I'm not sure how hard this is to do while it's also moving!  Maybe this won't work on your printer.  But try it maybe?

     

    If I'm correct, your bed will move up by maybe 0.2mm and it will start printing perfectly.  As soon as you let go it will go back to printing poorly.

     

    The point of this exercise is to know.  Truly know the truth.  That you are printing with the nozzle too far from the print bed.

     

    Once you know the truth - really believe the truth - the solution should be obvious and you can concentrate on the solution (move the bed up).

      • 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.
