    Your reseller can look that up.  In other words if you bought this used then find a big reseller in your area (maybe igo3d?) and email them with the serial number.  It may still be under warranty.

     

    The distributors and resellers do not have access to the production documentation of an individual printer at Ultimaker.

    Distributors know through which reseller a printer was sold and can forward an inquiry.

    Please be aware that often warranty applies only to the original owner and is not passed on when a printer is sold.

  2. If you want to use a material the profile of which does not support the Material Station, you have to use a generic profile such as the PA GFF in this case. Be aware that it is not uncommon that this way fails at unloading the material.
    Personally, I usually switch the printer off, disconnect the Material Station for such materials and put the spool holder back in, then reboot the printer so it starts as a standalone S5.

    Of course it does not hurt (hopefully) if you contact the manufacturer and ask if making the profile compatible with the Material Station is planned.

  3. Sink it into the buildplate is even possible with the "drop to buildplate" option enabled. You should disable that option if you want an object "hovering" over the plate, i.e. creating a vertical space that will be filled with support structure. When you "unsink" the object, the "drop to buildplate" comes in handy again.

    But you should contact your reseller immediately.  I strongly suspect every reseller has seen every possible problem including this one.  I don't have the Material Station - just the plain S5.  But I've heard many people ask questions in this vein and the answer is very often: talk to your reseller.

     

    That is a very good advice. The reseller is always first choice to ask warranty questions. I cannot speak for other resellers or Ultimaker in terms of warranty. I can only refer to the warranty document by Ultimaker: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011627400-Ultimaker-S-line-warranty

    1. I've added a Ziflex on the plate, but unfortunately I can't use my printer anymore because the calibration is only physical (using screws) and I've reach the end before teh right settings.

     

    Wow, how thick is that plate that pulling the bed down is not sufficient?

     

    @gr5 already gave the spot-on explanation for no. 2.

    3. The feature "Skip cooldown" introduces some bugs : If I change the material, then skip cooldown, and immediately start a print, it will hang forever on the "preparing" screen.

     

    Sounds like a bug. Please report it to your reseller so it can be passed on.

    4. How can I change settings while printing, like the printing speed ?

     

    I'm away from my UM2+ Connect atm, so can't check it. If there is no tune menu there yet, I imagine there will be and it will be more populated in future.

    5. I'd like to use my printer on my local network, without internet, how can I do that ?

     

    You can't and you will never been able to. It was advertized to be cloud-based right from the start.

    6. The open WiFi of the printer is always on, even after it's connected to my network, how can I disabled it ?

     

    You have the printer connected through Ethernet and it still has a WiFi enabled? That would sound like a bug too you might want to report through your reseller.

  6. Sorry to be a bit persistent: Does the same print core also still work with other materials after you printed the I180 with?
    As for the print core cleaning: did you use hot pulls or cold pulls? In case you used cold pulls: did you get a perfect mirror image of the inner print core geometry on the pulled filament?
