Nozzle 2 not retracting for Nozzle 1 to print

Posted · Nozzle 2 not retracting for Nozzle 1 to print

Hi,

I started to notice that my UM3 will not lift/retract nozzle 2 during auto leveling or when starting a print where nozzle 1 is to be used.

I did a manual leveling and disabled auto but im concerned the quality of the prints will be compromised.

How can I fix this issue?

 

Thanks in advance

    1) There's a little lever on the print head.  On the right side.  Slide that frontwards and backwards and make sure the right hand core is moving up and down.  If not then there is probably a broken part in there and you can order it but first take the head apart to figure this out.  There is lots of documentation to be found.  google it.

     

    2) If that works then you need to go into maintenance/calibration and run the "lift switch calibration" procedure.  After you've done it a few times it typically takes about 20 seconds to do.  Super easy.  As easy as say changing a 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.
