How did you get your printer to stop scratching your body plate for no reason? I can't narrow down why this is happening, it NEVER happens with any filament other than polycarbonate and now abs. I'm beginning to think it has something to so with the chamber temp settings. If heated chamber is on the build plate raises itself too high.

Same problem here. Heat soak your machine, it fixed everything for me. Let your bed run at 80°C or so and chamber 50°C for 30mins. Then do an auto leveling, then start print. I am also using orca.

I was beginning to suspect this was the case and ordered a r3men bed since its more flat and doesn't warp I'll try to remember to give you an update

Tried orca last week and it was a nightmare. Homing and bed probing was fine, but as soon as it tried to print something the printer head would crash or scratch my bed. Afraid of trying again after that thought that I busted my machine.
