My 2nd printhead when switched in printing mode is free to move and as such when I try and do the automatic levelling my build plate pushes it into my head and then says the difference is too big levelling failed what controls this.

 

the core is loose I can push it up with my finger when lift switch is enabled, I tried re assembling lift switch. 
 

this is a problem as active levelling fails. What should I do to stop this from

Happening.

 

thank you

    Well, some more information would be helpful, such as which type of printer (UM3 or S-line) it is, and possibly some photos of the printhead (inside without the second printcore) and the printcore.

    The problem you describe seems to be lift switch related, perhaps the lift switch assembly is not assenbled properly. Often the lift switch spring is displaced or with the spring of the printcore could be something wrong.

    If you change the printcore, does the problem persist?

    Regards

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
