Hello


In the video, all axes are moving at the same time. It's hard to tell what's going on.

You can also move the print head manually (without printing). This way it is easier to get to the bottom of the problem.


Sometimes.

.. the block in the front is unhooked.

.. a belt wheel turns loose on the shaft.


Many greetings

    SOLVED!  I was able to track the popping noise to the short belt connected to the Y axis motor, I could feel a little vibration in the belt when it popped.  I loosened up the 4 screws that hold the motor in place and re-tightened them and it fixed the problem.  Might have just been slightly loose??  the screws didnt feel loose....

    The screw may have jammed a bit in the hole when it was screwed in. The printers are assembled by people. Theoretically, there are also errors that a test print does not reveal.

     

    Therefore, good that you have found out!

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
