Thanks for the input, Did you just slow down the print speed? Which speed settings did you adjust? I have been feeding the Nylon out of a dryer but in these hot and humid Midwest days, Running the air conditioner, I might need to up the printing temperature. I have this print set at 260 c I am going to up it to 265 for the next build.

Update: The different roll that I tried is doing the same thing. I have turned the dryer down to see if this helps.

I have an Ultimaker 5S purchased in February this year. I have ran around 6-7 rolls of Nylon (Not glass filled) through it. I started a 36 hr build on Saturday with a brand new roll of material. Come in this AM and i have the error something like "Material appears to be empty. Still 3/4 of a roll left. I checked to make sure there was a clear path from our dryer to the printer. Even unloaded and reloaded the material. I have gotten this same error 3 -4 times since. Still have 16 hrs left on my print. This last time I removed the roll and plased in another partial that I had taken out. Seems to be printing and have not gotten the error. I looked at the material that I took out and it looks like the feeder gear was spinning out on the material. I measured the roll that I took out and it is 2.79-2.85mm diameter. The roll that I place in the machine is 2.8-2.85mm Is this a material issue?

After trying these and many other suggestions, because I was in a rush for parts, I replaced my printing head. Shazam, my issues went away. When time frees up I plan on trying to see if I can clean the the head. I can't believe that it is worn out yet. We use wear resistant heads and it has only been in service since early March.
