Printing from project files helps with this, as you slice and produce a new print file with the material you have in the selected machine, if they don't tally up then you get a warning. Alternatively digital factory keeps track of material selection too. Human error can still conquer all obviously.

Diamond has amazingly good thermal conductivity, vastly better than ruby and much better than brass too. So you would be better off with diamond on this basis rather than seeing much benefit from the increased hardness.

Interesting update, after switching from wifi to ethernet networking I have not had this happen again.

Agreed, no worries apology accepted:)

Hygroscopic materials are not going to feel damp precisely because there are hygroscopic.

Doesn't look like wet filament is the issue at all in your prints, looks like wall settings or retract.

Think you are going off on a tangent here, PA is as chemically inert as PLA and doesn't chemically react with water. Both are hygroscopic, PA more so than PLA. Processing either with a significant water content will have issues.

Disagree, some PLA seems to miraculously avoid moisture uptake or at least seem not to suffer from it, but generally it needs to be kept dry. Poor bed adhesion, extrusion blobs, stringing and inconsistencies all things being equal are usually down to water in the PLA.

I'm finding that which ever z seam option choice is picked the result in the slicer turns out as sharpest corner! UPDATE: works fine with some existing project files not in others.

Bambu Lab machines don't have ethernet which is annoying and I think the wifi is 2.4ghz only like Ultimaker. I am sure the wifi setup is much more straight forward on Bambu lab though!

The front belt looks very loose could be jumping the pulley.

If the print speed is lower for the first Layer then won't the flow be less?

You should be able to stick with 20% and reduce the distance independently to 2mm

Try reducing infill line distance

Which machine did you decide on in the end?

From experience S5 machines work much more reliably over wired ethernet with reserved IP addresses, wouldn't bother with wifi on these machines especially if you have more than one and use digital factory!

Hi Marimakes I am trying to do the per model brim distance but no matter what distance I enter in there it is ignored and I get the value entered in the main project file settings. I am using Cura 5.4.0, any ideas where I am going wrong? Thanks

Sounds like your "Final Printing Temperature" in Material section setting is too low?

Cura does log out of your account from time to time, which will show the printer grey cloud in cura while the printer shows connected wifi on its screen. Are you sure you don't just need to log back in to digital factory in Cura.

I think tinkering is the right word.

You've got some strange things going on in the corners of the stl which is probably causing this to slice the way it does. Section of a corner attached.

Hi I have had the little connector on the back of the extruder work its way loose a couple of times which as I remember gave this error. More often though it has been the extruder wearing a groove (not always a big obvious groove) in the filament when retracting either lots of times in a small area or because the filament sticks in the core a bit. Also check your front fan is switching on at 40C nozzle temp. Hope this helps

My s5 has developed and under extrusion issue on No 2 core side. The problem seems to have nothing to do with the core, tried other cores in machine, all under extrude and do not under extrude in other s5 machines. Currently to obtain as close to similar results as possible in this machine I need to set flow to 120%, but overall quality is not good still. The machine seems to load material fine and extrusion during this appears identical to other machines. Front fan appears to be working fine and the extruder again seems fine. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar issue or can suggest what is causing this? Thank you

sometimes the cause seems to be a broken wire on the front fan.

This is a know design flaw, the fix is to buy an S7.
