Hello, I have a problem with printer head. Ender 3 V2 Neo. 

When printing is finished and the confirm button is pressed, the printer head slides down until nozzle touch the bottom.

maybe the screw needs to be tightened, but I don't know which one?

    "When printing is finished and the confirm button is pressed, the printer head slides down until nozzle touch the bottom." 

    I'm not sure what a "Confirm" button is.  Could you explain a bit more?

    If the "Z" axis gets disabled at the end of a print it can drift down.  The "Ending G-code" of the Ender 3's tell the printer to move the bed to the front ("Present Print") and to disable "all steppers except Z".

    If the Z stepper disables then the weight of the X beam assembly can cause the whole thing to drift down.  It may be related to how tight you have the trolley wheels on the ends of the X beam.  You should just be able to turn them with your fingers.  Even when adjusted correctly, some printers still will have the Z drift down when the Z stepper disables.

     

    In Cura - go to Manage Printers, Machine Settings.  Copy the "Ending G-Code" and paste it into a response here.  There should be a line:

     

    M84 X Y E ;Disable all steppers but Z

     

    (it might be an M18 line as M18 and M84 are inter-changeable).

    If the line is only "M84" then copy the one above and paste it in.

        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.
