Hey Cyriaquer, I took your advice and removed the Radial fans, see attached photos. The fans were horribly dirty which I think altered the fan blades by placing them out of tolerance or out of balance. I used my shop air compressor to carefully blow the blades and being careful not to over clock or exceed RPM rating and break the blades. I then used a brush to rub off stuck on dust and gave them a final compressed air cleaning. I did this to the fan support housing as well. I put everything back together and voila the printer is working. I've completed two prints back to back with no issues. I also ordered two knew radial fans (Print core side fans) or Model Cooling Fan Part #UM3/UM3X/S5/S3/S7 for my S5. and will replace the old fans if I have anymore leveling issues. Thank you for your awesome advise and support! Dan

Hey Guys Now with everyones help, I understand the noise level results of the Level Sensor Test shouldn't exceed 8.0 Your help is much appreciated! Dan

Thanks Guys! With all the information everyone has provided, I've narrowed it down to the capacitive sensor board. I found a Fan wire crossing directly over the PCB, the fan wire was being squeezed between the heating element wires of the print core and the PCB. I moved the fan wire, ran the test Level Sensor Test aging with the following results. Again thanks! Dan

Hey Guys, I've had an issue off and on in regards to leveling results on my S5. I thought my leveling error had something to do with the magnets I installed on my build plate however, the error is repeated with a glass build plate and no magnets. I have replaced both AA and BB nozzles with new nozzles and cleaned the nozzle seating areas. I have completed the manual level procedure and leveling sensor test several time. When I reboot the S5 and repeat the manual leveling the error returns. Once I remove the New Print Head Nozzle and reinstall the same new nozzle the S5 will randomly level and start working. My question is: how is the information received from the Leveling Sensor Test used or how can it be helpful? Dan

Hi Viktor, I was wondering if disabling the auto leveling feature on your S5 is working or has it caused other issues? My S5 is having the same issue. Thanks Dan

I received the following for a toy I created using my Ultimaker S5! Congratulations! You and your product, FireFly (Kinetic Energy Toy), have been selected to be showcased at Toy Fair’s Creative Factor Inventor Day! I will reveal the design during the event, Tuesday, October 3 at the Javits Center in NYC from 10 AM – 1PM,! Thank you UltiMaker! Dan

Does anyone know of a return option to the previous task in the printing cycle for the S5? You know, the task that was going fantastic just before it went dumfounded and didn't print anything!

You are awesome! I'll give it a try Boss!

Why is it so difficult to get a consistent print and a true clear print when using clear TPU.

Have you tried reducing your print seed and keeping your TPU filament dry?

It looks like your print is sheering apart, have you tried slowing the print speed and keeping the filament dry?

Verify your filament is kept dry, you can weigh the material after opening the material for the first time. Also when not in use I store 4 rolls of TPU material in 2 lbs. silica gel beads.

I get this issue when printing translucent materials, I disabled the flow sensor in the printer settings.
