[S5 makes a lot of errors trying to self level]

Update.

 

I tried cleaning the capacitive sensor and re-installed the silicone cover underneath the nozzles.

Worked 1st time hereafter. I hope it continues. 🙂

It seems there is an error with the height detection.

When it tries to level, the #core is the first it tries to touch the build plate with, and it lacks maybe 6-7 mm in touching.

It just moves up again, and then tries with core #1. It then makes the following error.

 

I have just manually adjusted the height with the card, so the settings should be ok.

Ok, thx for the clarification. Then I must look elsewhere.

Hi. 

 

Our S5 makes a lot of errors trying to self-level. And I actually believe I know why.

On the core#1 there seem to missing the spring on top of the infeed-tube.

On core#2 there is a spring.

 

Seeing it auto level yesterday, the #1 core was pushed somewhat upwards. I imagine the missing spring is the culprit.

I only succeeded to print in the 4th try..

 

Anyone knows the part number of that?

[Another PVA thread]

Hi.

 

I face some issues when I print with PVA.

Is this normal, this stringy, messy look?

 

I often have ER65 on extruder#2, and then I just can continue the print?

[5.7.3 Firmware ?]

I too have problems with not recognizing the material. But its like that after each firmwareupdate? Since yesterday everything has been running like crap, but I honestly do not think its the firmware that's to blame. THe lights out function in the material station is NICE. 

[S5 Material Conflict (W/ Mat Manager)]

I see the same issue quite often. New firmware seems to help. I have updated it some times already. It also helps when the network functionally seems to have an error.

[Change the Hostname of the S5]

Thank you for the reply. I managed to change it with the rename printer method. The IT department was very helpfull and let me connect to the network although the hostname didn't look exactly like the wanted it to.

[Change the Hostname of the S5]

Hello

 

We recently bought a S5 and I would like to connect it to the company network.

For me to do that, I need to change the hostname of the printer, to a name fitting in our system.

We are a big company with very strict rules of out IT systems.

 

Is there any way to that?

 

Best regards

Søren
