    I guess you could lower the acceleration. Do you have an ulticontroller on your machine?

    Also it's common for people to not insert the Z screw completely inside the Z coupler that connects to the motor. Look again at the assembly instructions photo - you should see very little of the non-threaded portion of the Z screw above the coupler.

    How do you know for sure that it is missing steps? Can you explain in more detail how you determined this?

      • 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.
