  1. Definitely always good to have spare parts on hand. In particular, make sure to check out the front fan when your new-used machine arrives. A lot of people miss cleaning the fan as part of their maintenance, so you'll want to inspect that just in case it needs it before you get started.

  2. I offer non-warranty repairs at our facility if that's something you need; you can check us out at fbrc8.com. 

    There is no maintenance kit for the S5, but if I was putting one together, here's what I would include:
    * Nozzle seals
    * Bowden tubes
    * Collets and Clips
    * Sliding Block Set
    * Short Belts
    * Front Fan

    The parts are all available and that list should pretty much cover wear and tear items, though if you've only run through five rolls of filament I wouldn't expect most of those to need replacing yet. What sort of issues are you seeing?

    Hey, 

    I guess you were right. I went to System -> Printhead -> Fans and ramped up the fans - the front fan wouldn't move.

     

    That menu does not control the front fan. That menu controls the side fans.

    The front fan is controlled by the firmware and will automatically run when the nozzle is at 50 C.

  4. Ultimaker Cura stopped being supported with Windows 32bit a while ago. You can find previous versions at this link. I want to say I think the last one that supported 32bit windows was in the 2.x series so you'll have to scroll back a ways. I'm not using Windows and am not 100% sure of which version was the final 32bit Cura. Cura 4.8 won't run on 32bit.

  5. The wide part goes around your print head cable. The two narrow parts come together at your bowden tube. Only put the clips over the printhead cable and one bowden tube (so you're not straining the other tube). I've attached a picture.

    Thanks for your reply. I am located in Texas. I checked your website and saw that you have a replacement lift assembly. I will make sure to check the site often to see when it is back in stock.

     

    If you put your email address in above the green button on the product page, you'll automatically receive an email as soon as it's back in stock.

  7. @Jls667 I have the fan available here. It's in stock and available to ship today.

    In regards to how the fan relates to the active leveling...the active leveling works on a capacitive sensor. If your fan cable is pinched or damaged, it can create electromagnetic interference while the fan is running, and that interference can disrupt your active leveling readings and cause active leveling to fail. 

     

    I've got a video here on how to install it:

  8. Thanks! It's been a bit of a gray fall so far down here. I think I printed about 40 flowers over the 5 different colors. For the bowl/vase I scaled that up slightly so I could fit more flowers in it--and sunk it into the bed to give it a flat bottom.

  9. Prints in a print! A little color to brighten up some gray, rainy fall days here.

    I found the bowl on ScanTheWorld; I really want to take some more pictures of it from the side. The Matte fiber filament looks good, though I had to sink the model into the bed a few mm since it wasn't flat. https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-a-stemmed-bowl-54121
