UM3 leveling system question

How does the user experience of bed leveling and nozzle height setting differ between the UM3 and other printers that use ABL? is it just that it is more precise or will I actually be doing less manual leveling with the UM3 than I would be with most other printers with ABL? Thanks!

    Not sure if I understood your question correctly, but with the active leveling from UM3 you don't need to manual level your bed. Maybe just the first time after unboxing, but then the active leveling takes care about that.

     

    But I cannot speak about other brands, I only have UM printers.

    Thats the purpose of the active leveling, it measures the distance between the bed and the nozzle on several points and uses these distance values to compensate the distance during printing the first few layers.

     

    So there is no need to do or touch anything.

    And due to the reason the UM3 uses print cores and your are not able to use just a nozzle you buy somewhere, the nozzle has always the same height and distance within the print core.

        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.
