My S3 has suddenly started shifting each successive print layer on the X-axis by approx 8mm.

It does this on files that we've printed many times before and are stored on the USB stick.

We haven't changed material, and I've done the standard maintenance checks but no change.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

    Hey @seadogsmith,

     

    Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉

     

    It seems like something is wrong with your adhesion. 

    You can find tips to improve your adhesion here: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012015680-Build-plate-adhesion-How-to-get-your-print-to-stick-to-the-build-plate

    Did something change in the enviroment, is it hotter or colder than usual?
    Did you apply a glue or did you change the type of glue you are using?

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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

        Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released

        ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        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
