I have s3d on 3 different PB’s, play, plus and simple metal, it is fantastic!

you shouldn’t need s3ds bed level if wizard since all of these printers have an auto level feature (unless you have removed it.

S3d has premade profiles for all of these printers, I suggest you use those. They work great right out of the box.

What version of the simple metal do you have? Is it a ref F4, F5, or a F6? Is the build volume set to 150mm on the x,y, and z axis? I’ve had it happen to me before where the build volume accidentally got changed and it started printing in the corner of my printrbot simple. I’ve also had it happen where the printrboard started malfunctioning (rev F5) on a printrbot plus and the z-axis stop end would never get triggered and drive right into the board. Had to contact Printrbot to have them send me a new board.

I’ve attached my s3d settings under the g-code panel for my simple. See if your settings match up.

8 days later

this is what came up when i ran it the way you said to. i also checked to see if i had a f5 board and i do will that be a problem.

that help with it trying to go past the max x and y axis but it still digging into the bed and dragging across the bed. Could this be a issue with the firmware?

You may need to go through your Z calibration again. Sounds like your offset is too negative.

Try offsetting the z-axis under the g-code tab in s3d. I believe positive numbers will raise the extruder the amount you set when you begin printing.
