[Significant S5 Pro Bundle Issues]

Ultimaker S5 Pro, approx. one month old. Also notice frequent errors, including the eternal "Finishing" state.

[Ultimaker S5 pro bundle problems]

We are experiencing some of the same problems here. Most seem to be related to the use of PVA support. Even with a brand new spool there quickly becomes trouble as it seems to break in the feeder tube, blocking the other part of the feeder tube etc.  

 

Also, I have to admit I hate the error-handling of the S5. Every time something goes wrong, and that's rather frequent, I have to switch the device off-on and wait for the boot-up to complete. Then clear the previous (failed) print and start gathering info as to what might have caused the error. Most PVA errors we experience result in an unhelpful ER998, followed by futile attempts to resolve the error. 

 

I actually prefer printing on our 2+ if I don't need to use PVA, it's more reliable and it's also usually faster than the S5. Should anything break it's also easier to spot the  error and resolve it without having to reboot the machine.
