I agree - that printer isn't right.  Something is bent, or there are loose or bad trolley wheels on one of the axes.  Are the hot end and bed cables interfering with the movement somehow?

 

My guess is that something is mechanically wrong with the "X" axis.

Move the Z up around Z100 and shut the machine off.  

Looking from the side of the machine slide the print head back and forth.

Does it travel in a single straight line?  When you eyeball the X beam is it straight?  Does the carriage travel smoothly?  Trolley wheels are tight?  No boogers in the slots that the wheels travel in?

 

@gr5  - There are two threads regarding this problem.

      • 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.
