Keep sharing how you get on with this... I too miss s3d in many ways. If it was as seamless as the connection with Cura, I think I would change back.

Are you sure you are loosing steps? hard to tell for the photos, but looks far more like intermittent under extrusion. Do what was suggested above, and clean your feeder out. check you get consistent smooth extrusion when loading filament, should come out smooth, straight and no curling. grease the z axis shaft make a small tall tower and try printing that.

The right two in the attached image, marked pt100

They are 24v printers, so safe guess it’s a 24v heater element

Thanks for responding. it would probable be the same currently when going from bare glass to adhesion sheets? One would need to re calibrate with the paper card again? being able to store the different bed type would save having to recalibrate each time. So it would be support ultimaker beds, not just 3rd part bed surfaces

Most likely you have damaged the thermosister. measure wth resistance between the right two wires where they plug in. should be around 100k ohm. if that works, look at the connection pads again

Google it. Common issue if settings are wrong need .skirt off .brim off .avoid model during moves off

I asked, as I have just dealt with the same issue. Was printing great, and deteriorated over a week. try drying it in the a kitchen over overnight. easy thing to rule out.

I dont understand either. But it’s done it multiple times now i will force some end of rolls tonight and confirm this is consistent

I have a issue with the filamant sensors. they seem to work if the filamant jams, or is held on the end of the spool, but if the filamant is not held on the spool and flows through, it does not detect it- will happily keep printing air and stuffing the print. theres very little detail in how these detect and work, which makes it hard to work through fault finding. any ideas on how to fix this?

nice solution to a bad design to begin with It always annoys me that they insist on putting the spools on the back. might look pretty, but it’s a pain to access. why they didn’t put the spools in the side, and feeders on the sides near the front is beyond me.

One of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33009170756.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dRVsQk5 Best thing I have done. wipe down with alcohol occasionally and that’s it. we do lots of tooling parts- big flat faces and solid blocks that won’t pop off easily. usually don’t have to remove it from the bed, but when something sticks really well, it’s no big deal to take it off and twist it off. these should have been supplied by ultimaker given the price of the printer. if the $500 dollar Chinese printers are ahead of you in terms to technology, you should be nervous ultimaker management ....

I was thinking the sensor inside the cover of the print bay, or tucked up behind the hot block. This will not be effected by part cooling fan speed at all. my thinking is if the plastic if the print core hits 70 something is going wrong- most likely molten plastic touching it. it won’t stop it before it happens, but al least stops it going on too far. picking the right location for the sensors is the hard part- has to be in the path of the flooding plastic as for camera- I can’t that see that being a easy solution at all- not compared to two wires of a thermal switch.
