[Tweak Settings to Remove Warped Output?]

Try printing with a "Brim"

 

[PROBLEM Ultimaker S5 ''Active leveling could not be performed. Please check the nozzles and bed and try again'']

We are experiencing a similar problem on our S5, whereby the "Active Levelling....." throws up an error. The button is pressed to tell the printer the part has been removed, then then printer asks, "Do you want to print again?", we then press YES, and "Auto Levelling is fine after that.

 

It ALWAYS occurs after the printer has been inactive for a day or so.......the nozzle is free from plastic and is also clean.

 

Only started to occur after Cura Version: 4.13.0

Select "ALL" mode:

 

 

Then enter "Angle Value" into here:

 

 

[Edges of model aren't printing (gray in Cura)]

Agreed with what @orlin278 said.

 

Even with an AA0.25 nozzle this still won't print.

[Cura not seeing text]

It looks like the "text" has not been converted to stl.

 

I've tried to apply text using SolidEdge and saved as an stl file (attached) and it looks ok.

[Ultimaker s5 - printing problem]

Could it be the "Core" to "Glass" setting?

 

Looks to me like the core is too close and squashing filament....

Thanks for the tip. I'll try to do it. My first problem though is that the machine very rapidly goes to the error page and I can't access the menus to heat the print cores. There may be a small time window I can exploit though.

 

cheers,

Richard

 

 

In that case, cut off the material above the print core. Once you're back up and running, heat up the print cores manually to remove the cut off.

[ER61 - Material station failed to unload: filament still in print core]

Heat both print cores manually to around 200°C.

 

Release both of the feeder clamps at the rear of the machine, turn off the printer (switch at rear) and remove the power cable from the material station, then simply pull the material through the tubes from the material station side.

 

Check both filaments for damage ( i'd just cut off what was in the tubes and start a fresh...).

 

Replace the material station power cord, turn on the S5 and it should be good to go.

 

Note: Speaking from experience, this may or may not be the correct procedure, but this has happened several times before and has worked every time.

[Printing on a print??]

As long as the "base" and "lettering" are different STL files this is possible....

 

First, go into "PREFERENCES" on the menu bar in Cura, in the "GENERAL" section, UN-TICK "Automatically drop models to build plate"

 

 

Then simply move to desired position. Using "arrows" or "co-ordinates".

 

TIP: Make sure the Z height is correct, as too low and it'll hit the base. Too high it'll miss. If you know the physical height of the base, I'd just type it in....

 

 

Hope this helps.....

[Ultimaker TPU95A]

We use this quite a lot, both in Blue and Red.

 

Not very often do we print pure TPU parts, but we infuse it with PC and PET-G, here are a few pics:

 

PET-G with TPU:

 

 

 

PC and TPU:  (top item PEG-G + TPU bottom part PC + TPU)

 

We have found that it bounds slightly better with PC ( although PC is limited to AA0.8mm nozzle...) 

 

[S5 collides with print and X/Y axles pop out of holders - completely frustrated]

We've had the same problem.

 

Only started to happen since Cura 4.11.0

 

[Print shifting at the same height]

Have you tried various / different positions on the glass / base plate? Does it still do the same?

Got this to work a treat, thanks for creating. 👍

 

On a side note, I can only get this to work on "Dongle", when I plug in the mouse for charging, the plug in stops working.....any ideas?

[problems to remove breakaway from ABS]

Changing the "IN-FILL" density of the support material will help.

[Filament stuck in printhead]

It's only the brass element that's heated, if the filament is stuck higher up the nozzle, an additional heat source is needed. 

 

Try a hot pull using PLA first, failing that....

 

Try heating the top end of the nozzle with a heat gun. heat the nozzle in the printer to 270°C, remove it from the printer, taking care not to touch the nozzle itself (the printer will throw up an error when core is removed, but......) Then heat the top part with a heat gun say about 100°C and try a top pull.

 

 

[S5 Mods/Upgrades/Improvements]

The thermometer inside the printer, how much difference is there compared to the Digital Factory readings?

 

I'm curious....
