Almost done, will add two filament nozzles on either side with sections of bowden tube attached to them. the PVA spools currently are lasting 2 to 3 weeks on the machine. Wanted to make sure I don't have PVA/moisture problems. Can't justify $3800 x2 for material stations that control humidity. I just got the Silica gel in that changes color as it absorbs moisture. Printed with Tough PLA and laser cut the acrylic panels. Will be doing a bit of printing with TPU and Carbon Fiber soon, so did this for that material also. with what I have read about moisture issues, kinda surprised others have not done this.

So not to long ago, I was given the chance to take over an empty office space next to mine as a Printer area. I jumped on it. What have I found, since my little dorm fridge is staying in my office and there is No equipment/electronics within 8 feet beside 2 S5 printers in the newer space.....Not a single bed Leveling issue in the last month or so. Go Figure.

They are my go to for supplies and parts. I actually also just bought a 2nd S5 from them a couple weeks ago.

I just changed the whole capacitive sensor assembly. wasn't to bad to change out in my opinion. I do not keep a spare on hand.

what I showed and linked was the upgrade for the S5. if you already have the printer. if you need to S5 also, the pro bundles start at $10,600 on Dynamism website....

how much and where are u located?

$4,198 for the S5 pro bundle upgrade is listed on Dynamism page: S5 Pro upgrade from Dynamism

That is why I went with a 100 watt aquarium heater that has a max temp of 88F (31.1C). I actually have it around 82F I believe. Since I run 5 lasers and air filter units in this room, I run the AC even during the winter. Water sitting in a sink or other container will end up in the low 70s for a temp....but usually comes out of the faucet colder then that.

I am lucky to have a sink in the work area. I picked up a basic aquarium power head (pump) and tank heater. Makes a huge difference in the time. I created a basket with laser cut acrylic, since I have access to lasers. If I did not, I would 3d print a cage with magnets on the bottom to keep it in place. I was surprised how much the cleaning time was reduced once I added the water heater.

Even using a sink, if there is a lot of PVA to remove, I have found changing out some of the water during the process helps.

have been using an S5 for about 2 years now. I had the machine puke on itself 1 time, under warranty, so new print head. it has a couple small quirks, but has worked well. I have around 800 to 900 print hours on it atleast. I do not have experience with other machines to compare it to.

Hi all. Over the weekend had two print failures, something I have not had a problem with on the S5. Yesterday it skipped the 'Print Finished, remove print, confirm' step and went straight to 'ready to print' screen. today I changed to 0.04 AA and BB print cores. but just like the 0.8 print cores, the location on the print seems off compared to Cura and previous prints.

I bought one from Dynamism.com

if in the companies next location, we do not have a sink in my work area, I'll just get a 24" base cabinet, put caster on the bottom and a sink in the top, and make a mobile setup.

I happen to have a small sink, small laundry type metal sink in our work are. I picked up a small aquarium pump from a pet store and attach it a few inches from the bottom with the suction cups it came with. Since we do not have hot water, I just recently added a aquarium submersible heater (100 watt) that suctions to the side of the sink. I have done 2 washes with the heater, and can see an improvement. been using the pump for over a year now. if washing smaller parts, get some sort of basket or cage to hold the parts under water.
