My ultimaker 2 is trying to print off the print bed

· My ultimaker 2 is trying to print off the print bed
I can think of about 5 things that it could be. I guess I would start with a "factory reset". It's in the menu somewhere. Certain values like the size, scaling, and location of things like where the purge location is and of course the size of the print bed are stored in a special part of the eeprom in specific locations and each version of the firmware stores those in a slightly different spot and if you load older firmware over existing newer firmware they get all messed up (but going the other way is fine as newer firmware know where the older firmware stored everything).
Factory reset resets all that to defaults but unfortunately it will immediately make you level the bed and such but I think this is the best route.
It could be related to steps/mm for X or Y axis off or it could be doing too few substepping (probably not).
I think you should show a video of the problem if FACTORY RESET doesn't fix it.
It could be also a problem with the homing procedure (should go to the back left corner when you home). So maybe show that in the video also.
You can't post videos here but you can post on google drive or youtube or 100 other locations.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
