S3 Leveling Sensor Issues

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited) · S3 Leveling Sensor Issues

I have a relatively new S3 with an erratic levelling sensor.

 

Firmware 7.0.3 is installed which now has a "Leveling sensor test" in the diagnostics menu.

On completion of the test the screen displays a "Noise" reading does anyone know what is a good noise reading and what is a bad noise reading. Mine randomly varies between 4.9 and 23.8 !

 

Saving log files to USB reveals  a ????_sensor_reset.log !

Is there an  explanation for the data in this log ?

What is a good/bad Capacitive_baseline ?

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

    If the printer reports "interference on the signal" consistently and you encounter frequent issues with active leveling, please contact support.

    If you require further support, please contact us by submitting a ticket.

    Please ensure to include the error number (ERXX) and your printer's log files.

        (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.
