On which sides is it slamming - the left, or the back? Probably the left. Most likely, the head isn't triggering the end stop before it hits the side wall. What you need to do is a) to make sure the left side fan is bent down neatly, and there's no gap between the left shroud and the side of the print head, and then b) if needed, bend the end stop out slightly. It's located in the back left corner, under the top panel. Grip the lever on the endstop about one quarter of the way from the front with needle-nosed pliers, and push the lever to the left (so as not to strain the hinge) while rotating the end towards the right (to put a very slight kink in the lever, so it contacts the sliding block sooner). Be gentle; if you bend it too far, it won't contact the sliding block at all. In that case, straighten it a little bit.
Probably when the head hit the frame and the motor kept turning, it jumped the belt over the teeth a little bit. To fix that, push the head all the way to the right, and then loosen the pulley at the left end of the loose belt, and let the tension equalize. Then tighten it up tight again.

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.
