  1. thanks guys, didnt notice there was a new firmware. Fair play on taking ownership of it as well, most companies wouldn't have done that and just glossed over it.
  2. i disconnected the machine from the factory and then re-connected it with the pairing code etc and it cleared the ghost job. Surely a "Clear queue" option wouldnt have gone amiss?
  3. years later, but the only way i can get a successful print due to the above issue is inbetween jobs i heat up the nozzle to 250 and let the remaining filament "ooze" out of the nozzle. After maybe 2 minutes i wipe the nozzle and then send the print. It works almost all of the of the time, its just tedious. If i dont do the above then its almost a 100% chance the job will fail at the bed leveling stage followed by the frustration and anger at this stupid machine.
  4. any clues as to why i have a job seemingly hung at "In Progress"? absolutely no means to delete it. I can print jobs fine but the current progress is always just at this hung job, so even though im printing a new job im stuck looking at 0% complete in digital factory. I have restarted the printer many times and no difference. I need a means to purge the job. S5 on the latest firmware.
  5. I'm glad my logs helped you guys out! Thankfully the jobs were not a total loss, but it did destroy the rubber protector around the core nozzle but it's no big deal. Thanks for your help Tom.
  6. i can confirm that the collision issue DID NOT occur after i had rebooted the machine and started the job off again. So whatever is going on is cleared by a machine power cycle. However we dont really want to be in a position where we need to cycle the machine after every job "just incase" so hopefully the logs provide some evidence on what is happening.
  7. i have rebooted the machine and started the job but it takes around 7hrs so i'll see what happens this afternoon with it. See attached of how the plate gets "shunted" at the end of the job, the yellow tape is Kapton which is our choice of adhesion method. I have indicated the impact point, it seems to be on the "inside" of that part when the head is moving from left to right as you look at it from the front. The job is marked as completed however. I have the log files which i will send over now.
  8. Don't think it's rebooted, no. I'll attempt to watch the final layer and record it today, yes. The plate is that colour because we use kapton tape on the bed for adhesion. Yes I use Cura. It's a job that's saved in my digital factory as it's a repeat job that we use every week without being changed.
  9. It's happened 6 times in a row now, see attached. I'll get the log files when I get in tomorrow morning for you guys. See the glass bed shunted over to the right hand side.
  10. Make that 5 times in a row... I did upgrade the firmware to the latest one just last week, it's no coincidence. Why fly so close to the top layer of the print, I don't get it. Move the bed down 10mm, it makes no sense. I guess it's the material station that controls it but god almighty.
  11. in major agreement to the above. When it works, its great, lovely and smooth. When it doesnt work it leaves you totally stuck in limbo with almost completely unrecoverable errors. I use the material station as well which is borderline even worse. Frankly too many annoyances to list and its been a bad buy from my point of view for something that cost twice as much as my car. Our Ultimaker Extended 2+ didnt suffer any of the issues we have. Pros are it looks nice, the build plate is big, all the remote access is ok (not great). Cons are its the most frustrating, slow, annoying piece of equipment i have ever worked with which often leaves huge prints wrecked when it fails on the last layer or wont change over material successfully. 1. had the machine for around 4 years, experience mixed to awful 2. nozzles havent been clogged once i dont think, the material station we have atomic pulls the material after each job so the nozzle is almost always clear, but it then weeps on the next job which causes it to fail on the bed levelling so i have to manually heat up the nozzle beforehand to ooze out the remainder
  12. happened to me 4 times in a row this week, after months of never doing it. The frustration with this machine never ends! Come in after each print to find the glass plate pushed clean out of the metal retainers and shunted right over to the side of the bed, model has a big divot in it where the head has collided and pushed it over.
  13. I can 100% confirm that this didn't happen. The head moved to the front left (as you look at it face on) and the build plate remained in the raised position. I repeatedly checked it for over 48hrs and it stayed like this. I don't have a screen grab sadly as I phoned security of the school and had them pull the plug so the printer is now forced offline.
  14. I mean it's been hung at "Aborting" for the best part of 48hrs now... 🤷🏼‍♂️
