Have you looked at the nozzles themselves? You using an AA0.4 or AA0.8?
Try cleaning them and trying again, if it fails again, I'd look at the feeders....
Failing all of these and the print glass is level, next would be to look at the guide bars above the print head.

I take it, you're using Cura to slice?
If so, Click on "Custom"
Then select the desired print core from the drop down.

Thanks for the reply @Torgeir. I'll keep all the suggestions in mind if the error returns again, as I still don't understand how it could stop in the exact same place 3 times in a row.
Hi Andrew,
Is the Filament damaged at 1 - 1.5Metres on the roll? Where the extruder wheel has "grinded" it down or damaged it? That would explain the same position every time.....?

Have you tried the "Surface Mode" ?

If you can use a 0.6mm core, for the type of work you're printing, I'd go for the "Ruby" type. If you need higher detailed print you only have one option anyway......
The "Ruby" type is a proven design, we've been using ours for months without any issues at all.

Hi,
Is there a setting to stop this happening? This has happened on 2 occasions now. Never had this happen on previous versions of Cura.
Using CURA 5.0.0.

I'm a beach fisherman. Typically I'll have three rods spaced about 25 feet apart. I'd be yacking with a person passing by, or fooling with one rod and I'd get a strike on another, or sometimes I'd just flat out fall asleep. The un-noticed fish might pull off a couple hundred yards of line before I would notice.
So what I have here is a strike indicator system. The buzzer box goes next to my sitting spot and the separate boxes go on the 1 1/2" PVC pipe that the rods are in. The fishing line is held by the pieces of wire on each box. When there is a strike the wire falls off the fishing line dropping the brass rod past the IR sensing switch which in turn passes a signal to the buzzer box energizing the power transistor and making enough noise to alert me to the situation.
Next is bluetooth so I can get rid of the wire. I know there are commercial systems but where's the fun in that?
I was just about to say all that......DAMN!! 🤣
Does that mean I have won......?

This is brilliant!! What a "cool" post.....
My Answer: I have no idea....🤪

I think to do this correctly, you will have to use TWO different .STL files, one for measuring tool and one for numbers, them put the numbers on top of the tool in cura.

You using a "Prime Tower"?

History is not stored by the printer.
You could look at the printer (IP Address) from your browser ( on phone or Tablet ) and select "Management Console"
Scroll down to "Recent History" and click on "RE-PRINT"

I think it maybe related to these settings in Cura....
You need to select "ALL"
Then change these settings:

Can you not grip the "nose" piece (bridge) of the glasses, instead of trying to grip both arms?
The current design, what material are you using? TPU?
-
Click on ALL models holding the "SHIFT" key, then right click on mouse and select "Group Models".

It looks like the filament is being restricted by something, could be that the filament has been damaged maybe by the feeder (remove filament and check for "grinding" marks)
or there is debris in the feeder it self.

When the material changes over, are you using the same Spool every time?

I have an Ultimaker S5 with a material station. My extruder number 1 works great. All the different bays for extruder 2 chew up my filament about 8 or so inches into the material feeder. I took apart the material station and made sure there was no filament broken off in the tubes, but still have same problem.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Drew
When you say, "Took apart the material station" have you just checked the tubes only? Have you checked the feed system under the station? (black plastic moulded part).
The only reason I ask, is that we have had a problem whereby, PVA had broken off inside the feed system and was causing errors on certain feeders. i.e. feeder 1 will take one route through the system (which happens to be clear, whereas feeder 3 (for instance) would take a different route which is blocked.
Feeding in 8 inches then erroring out, suggests it may be this.
Taking apart is a bit of a pain, but it's worth doing / checking.

So, Carbon, it is a common problem but you don't give a solution, thanks my friend!
The answers are within the "Quoted" threads.. Have you read them?

Common problem this, but can be easily solved.

You're using a 1.0mm nozzle, what is the wall thickness of the "missing" area?
Change to print from Nozzle 2 mid print
in Improve your 3D prints
Posted · Edited by Carbon
What we do is separate TWO different stl files and simply put on on top of the other. Then set one stl to use nozzle number 1 then the other to use nozzle 2.
A bit tricky aligning, but as long as you use the co-ordinates within Cura ( x and y the same for each model and z would set above the first layer - "Part Thickness" )
Hope this helps......👍
