Hopefully this crude MS Paint diagram will explain better. The pattern you see in Example 1 and Example 2 just keeps getting worse and worse if you let it, and then it eventually fails and exhibits the strange behavior I mentioned in the original post, about slamming the print head into the wall, and slamming the bed into the floor.

That's not the case. There's no warping visible at all, and it's happening even in the interior of the object. The difference in level is wayyyyy beyond what could happen with warping anyway. And it only happens on one specific infill pattern.

It has nothing to do with the zseam and I never said it did, sorry, I think you're misunderstanding the problem. It's hard to explain. Basically as the print goes on, the z POSITION drifts. As in, it's printing too low in the Z direction. It gets worse over time, until the nozzle is like several mm lower than the actual current height of the object, and keeps slamming into it. You can't see the problem from the project file.

Ok, I finally got around to at least grabbing the program file. Attached here.

Hi Folks,
I used to be able to access the camera directly by going to 172.28.1.147:8080/?action=stream but after a recent firmware update, it doesn't work anymore. I need this for streaming purposes. I tried resetting the digital factory, but that didn't work. The camera still seems to be accessible from within Cura or logging into the web Digital Factory.
Thanks.

I didn't bother, since switching to a different infill pattern fixes it. Maybe if I get a chance, I'll recreate the problem and upload those for you.

Hi Folks,
I have this dual extrusion print where one object is encased entirely inside of another. It has printed very well several times so far, so I know there's nothing wrong with the object itself. However, on the most recent print of it, I switched the infill from Triangle to Cubic Subdivision. It caused the strangest behavior, I can't for the life of me understand it...
Basically, It starts out fine, but over time the Z position slowly starts drifting. It starts grinding the nozzle against the surface of the print. By a handful of layers later, the printhead is smacking against the sides of the object when it moves. If you let it keep going it errors out, and then smashes the printhead into the wall and the bed into the floor, like it has no idea where anything is. Then it throws an error about the endstops.
It took me several tries to figure out that it ONLY does this when I use Cubic Subdivision. And what's weirder, I've never had trouble using that infill pattern for other objects. It's something specific about the duel extrusion nature of this print, plus that infill pattern. I haven't tried other patterns, but I'm guessing it's related to whether or not a pattern changes in the Z direction.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks,
Remy

Update: where does this print head wire actually go? I thought maybe it got pulled or something, so I gently pushed it back into this hole, and now it's printing normally. Could it have come loose from wherever this leads? If that was it, would that explain all the other weird communication errors that seem unrelated to the printhead?
-
Right at the start of a print, it threw an ER34. I had to replace something in the print head a while ago, so I figured maybe I just didn't reseat the wire well enough. But no, after rebooting it keeps throwing various other seemingly unrelated communication errors, like ER35 and ER72.
What is happening here?
EDIT: attached logs

Very similar problems here. Have you recently updated the firmware?

Hi,
I have a persistent ER86 Error after this firmware update. I have the S5 pro bundle.
I have troubleshooted the air manager fan connection and I have witnessed it to spin fine; however, after several reinstallations of the firmware and restarts of the printer, the printer will not work.
The printer refuses to advance or retract the material already in the bowden tube even after requests for ejection of the spool or changing of print heads. When instructed to change print heads the nozzle heats up without material in it and then eventually fails giving the ER86 error.
When instructed to print a model, the printer does not advance the filament material to print, the print head travels in the print patter with no material depositing, and eventually fails but displaces the ER86 error rather than a filament related error.
PLEASE provide me with a solution to solve the issue.
Thanks,
BK
I am ALSO having this problem post firmware update, among many other problems.

Hi Everybody,
I have previously made use of the ability of the S5 Material Station to automatically switch filaments when one runs out. Only a handful of times so far, but it has worked. This time it didn't.
You know how, if the bed is raised but not doing anything, if it sits too long, it will just go ahead and lower itself? Well I let some filament run out and the machine initiated an End Of Filament switch over, and the process took so long that before it could start back up again, the bed lowered. And by "so long" I mean that after pausing it just sat there and kind of deliberated for a solid 10 minutes. Then when it finally finished switching, the machine somehow didn't know that the bed was lowered and started just printing in mid-air, on nothing.
It seems to do this a lot, where it just hangs in the middle of some process or other. Like aborting. Aborting sometimes takes like 10 to 15 minutes. Not because the process actually takes that long, but because it's just sitting there kinda thinking about it for a while first.
Thanks.

So, it seems as if 5.8.1 has kind of half broken network connectivity for us. Cura can print over the network about half the time, but the other half it either asks to print via cloud or USB.
Crucially, this has completely broken camera functionality. Cura won't even attempt to display the camera, and web management loads for a while then displays just a single a still image from the camera.
It may sound weird, but we really need the camera functionality!! We're a public library, and a big part of our marketing strategy for the printer involves streaming the prints live.
-
Update to the above, I tried this to see if it would be a work around:
Load an Ultimaker branded PLA or other material material in a different bay so Cura will recognize it. Try printing something in that material, and then abort the print after the currently loaded filament gets retracted.
Unfortunately that just caused an error message? So apparently now there is no way to switch filaments until what, 2 to 24 hours elapse? That's surely not correct is it?
-
I like the concept behind the materials not fully retracting, but I'm running into a problem. Maybe I'm just missing something, but there doesn't appear to be any way to override it?
Let's say I print something in a generic brand of red PLA. Once it's finished, the red stays mostly loaded and the menu says "in use" so I can't eject it. What if I want to print in generic blue PLA right afterwards?
Let's say I put the blue PLA in a different bay. Well, Cura can't tell the difference between various generic PLAs, so it just lists one. Which one? I don't know, probably red again?

Did you end up doing this? I just ordered a Fula-Flex 2, wondering how it worked out for other people.
