How do I downgrade the firmware guys? This has been killing my prints all week.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.

The print would have been "Aborted" the head will go to home position and the glass bed will lower. The printer will now stay in that state until the "Confirm Removal" blue button on the printer screen has been pressed.
Wouldn't worry about "head overheating" issue as the heads will not stay heated.
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.
-
I mean it's been hung at "Aborting" for the best part of 48hrs now... 🤷🏼♂️
-
That won't help me now! Was hoping there should be a safety kill switch connected to the digital factory but seemingly not?
-
Getting the print off the bed is the least of your worries, let me tell you. My S5 with material station gives me daily issues and somewhat crazy design and software choices forced upon you. Still good though, but it generates daily frustrations.
-
Is there any way to remotely turn off the S5? I ran a long job but it's seemingly had issues and now I have no way to kill it, it's just hung in limbo. I'm not able to get back into the school for another 3 weeks and I'm worried the head is still running hot. I've tried to abort but it's just hung.
Is there any way to just power this thing down?
-
It's the most frustrating piece of junk I've ever owned! Slow as hell, most spools don't fit. When you get a snapped filament its not clever enough to know and marks it as empty when it isn't it visa versa. It would be in the bin if it didn't cost so much.
-
this is still a real issue for me, any job that i dont remove from the kapton while warm will ruin the kapton as below, so i have to replace every single morning after an overnight job. A "Print Scheduler" would eliminate this problem entirely as i can time it for the print to finish while i am present, as well as not having printers running at times which are unsociable.

And there is a solution with the Digital Factory. I would not expect Ultimaker to implement something similar into the firmware itself. The electronics inside the Ultimaker printers have limited capacity, hence the solution with the cloud service.
If you need a stream, you might have to implement a webcam. The advantage there is that you can chose the angle.
it would be nice if the digital factory offered up the option of how the camera is displayed, for example a video rather than a time-lapse style system. We have the bandwidth to cope so the option would be nice as the time-lapse style is useless for us in the classroom.
I have explored implementing a USB camera with the help of Smithy, but alas i cant find a camera that actually works with it. -

The Ultimaker Digital Factory should solve your issue.
but then we cant access the camera stream, just the "time lapse" version which is no good as we stream it to the screens in the labs. Surely password protected access cant be hard to integrate, these machines are used in education so there is a need for the above.
-
thanks guys, it will be helpful!
-
hi guys, is this still a thing? just realised that anyone who knows the IP of the printer in here can remotely send away previously sent jobs from the history.
We work in a school, we cant have this sort of unsolicited access. Is there a solution? We need network printing, but we cant have anyone within our network going through our logs and sending things away. -

Hey @Super_paulie,
I had someone take a look at your logs. The log files do not indicate a direct error, this seems to point towards power failure. Could it be a black out or a brown out?
Do you remember the the start date+hour of the print?
We can use that to doublecheck our findings.thank you Mari, that is very helpful.
I dont have the time it was started at im afraid and i cant seem to see where that information is held. It failed after 13hrs 16m and the job was started on the afternoon of the 17th October but at what time im afraid thats unknown.
By power failure do you think that was like a "blip" of mains electricity powering the machine? that is interesting as we should be on UPS in here.

Ultimaker S5 material switch mid-print not working anymore since Firmware 8.3 update..

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.
