Good Morning All

 

We have just purchased a Ultimaker S3, which is really good and I like it, But I am having problems with the self levelling and having to manually adjust and set. I have done this again this morning and it is saying am out on parameters. 

 

I find that I upset the levelling systems as I take of printed design of as this has stuck very well. do I need to turn the plate temperature down or am I doing something wrong.  

 

Please see picture below -

 

Regards

    Hey @walkerj,

     

    There are a number of issues that can cause leveling to fail. 
    As @RudydG correctly pointed out, thank you Rudy 💝, it's often debris on the nozzle or the buildplate. 

    More ways to troubleshoot can be found here:

    Can you let us know if any of these solutions work for you? 
    Thank you 😄

    I am still having problems, I have tried your troubleshooting, 

    I have updated software to new level.

    I have also dome the x.y axis and adjusted 

    I have told printer and cura that I have got two AA0.4 nozzles in. I am finding just before its doing the level test before print the nozzles are letter some PLA through, which then throws out and I get same reading.

    I did the noise level two and it came back at 46.0???? is this correct as I have read the extra troubleshooting and this says its should be below 8.0 ????

     

    Please help as we have not really done much printing on this machine. our 3 and 2+ run fine
