"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.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
