[Ultimaker S5 steppers getting very hot]

@JohnInOttawa,

 

You're quite right, it did take some effort to point the IR thermometer correctly to get a stable value of 70 C.. hopefully the actual temperature was below / equivalent to that!

 

Thanks anyway.

Hi @SandervG,

 

Thanks for the info!

 

The print came out well. However, the prime tower seemed to have collapsed towards the end, causing some oozing. (It did not affect print quality thankfully..)

 

 

 

 

 

[Ultimaker S5 steppers getting very hot]

So we just got an Ultimaker S5 and after an initial print of the 3D benchy (came out great) we decided to test the printer with the gyro.. anyway its a 2.5 day print and its still got a couple of hours to go.

I noticed that the X ad Y steppers are both too hot to touch. Using an IR thermometer we found the steppers to be at 70 C. Should i be worried about this?

Has anyone faced this situation before? Kindly let me know, thanks!

(So far the print seems to be coming out well...)
