Hi, Yesterday I sat in on the Factor 4 webinar. The machine does look really capable. Maybe there are more people that want to share some experiences and pose questions. I for one want to elaborate on a question I posed that was maybe misunderstood. When printing and there is a bed adhesion issue, it is noticeable that the tool head shudders over the raised corner that is not adhering to the bed. There were mentions that the new printer has accelerometers in the head. My question was whether the head has only X/Y accelerometers or also Z accelerometers for possibly detecting these issues when the head "crashes" over the lifting corners.

Once I had a print core that became unscrewed. See if you can feel play in the core when holding the heat block and gently turning the collar where the filament is inserted. Don't use tools or force as the connecting section is very thin.

The SpoolMaker application is extended with a drop down box providing the found diameters. It is possible to use this to filter the selected materials. Again this is in my fork. There are a number of filaments with 1.74 and 1.75 diameter in the standard Cura database. There are also 2.8 and 3.175 diameters. The default is 2.85 as this is the most used diameter for the Ultimaker and programming the spools used on the UM printers. It is also possible to select "All" to have no filter. For NFC tags I've seen that these NFC 216 tags on Aliexpress work with spools having a 51mm center hole. The NFC reader in the printer is capable of working with these. Some of my spools of other manufacturers also have center holes of 60+mm and with these the tag is not read properly when it is at the bottom.

The photo suffers more from JPG compression artifacts than what ringing is a case here. That being said, in fast printing one still see ringing artifacts, so I guess input shaping is not implemented yet.

Printed a benchy with some Ultimaker ABS that was left on a roll. It was done in fine. There were some imperfections with the seam and the overhangs, but the text on the back surprised me!

Is foaming ninjaflex an option?

Arnite petp is not in the list of addigy profiles.

I found them under the Covestro Addigy profiles.

Looking at old posts, it seems as if the DSM profiles for the materials were available in the past. These, however are not available within the materials marketplace anymore. Is there somewhere where these profiles can be found for the newer printers? Just gaining insights into the the material settings will already be helpful to make a custom profile

This is an old problem but I think I've cracked it... My WiFi was working flawlessly with 5.3.0, but in preparing my unit for sale, I did a factory reset. In setting up I suffered from the WiFi issues mentioned in this thread. It was not clear as an incorrect password would de rejected, but with a correct password things went askew. I attached a LAN cable and did some digging, but found nothing. Then I thought back how I set up the printer and considered the 2+ connected printer behaviour... I set up the digital factory via the LAN and after that, setting up the WiFi worked! Original post was here also I noticed that after factory reset things worked well if I follow the Digital Factory path in combination with WiFi. After WiFi is up and running one can disconnect the Digital Factory.

Your problem looks like an issue with finding the card reader. Can you check your card reader with another application? Check windows device manager to see if your card reader is present. I didn't see your problem, but when I ran the Spoolmaker I ran into another issue with a directory called .sentry-native that was placed in the user configuration folder. If people run into this with the beta version of Cura 5.7, then this should fix it. Note, it is fixed in my fork and not in the original code linked up top in this thread.

I read tuning in the acceleration behaviour in the notes of Cura 5.5 as some tuning in input shaping, but maybe that was not quite the way they did it..

600 for a working S5 is no money. The printer should still give you plenty of reliable service. The S5 R1 will print TPU95A fine. My UM3 and UM3S does in any case. Using interlocking to combine TPU with other materials certainly opens up possibilities. Check some TPU/PLA combo's from my vault: This is a foot for a stopper. The black is TPU. Grippy and very wear resistant. This is where it is used Here TPU was used to create a "spring". It has two PLA caps to make sure it remains in place in the indentations in the grip. The layer line of the joint is visible. This is one of 4 feet on a balance board for my standing desk. The cone is PLA and the top cylinder with dome is TPU.

With my UM3 being replaced in January with a second hand S3 I've been enjoying the improvements that the S3 brought with it. The improved hardware and the input shaping support introduced was a nice boost. The quality was clearly a step up. With the UM3 I printed ABS a few times and struggled with warping. Even though my UM3 was in a Box3d enclosure the warping was quite intense. I even found a solution for it using PETG and interlocking to help with the insane warping. So ABS was relegated to a material less used... It just did not provide the results I wanted and working with custom rafts for it was just a little too much hassle every time, especially if it was an STL off one of the sites. With many months not using ABS it came across my path again... About a month ago I bought 20 spools of Verbatim material for 20 Euro. It included some PP, TPU and quite a bit of ABS. One of my colleagues with a Creality was looking to upgrade some of his fan shrouds to ABS or a higher temp material. I offered to print it for him, seeing that I have enough ABS and the S3 should be OK. To my surprise, the S3 is better than OK. I suffered no warping for the fan shrouds and hot end parts! It is amazing what the printer delivered! Seeing that there is enough ABS, the trigger was pulled to print a wall mount for something in the work shop. It takes up about the entire build plate. With first few millimeters deposited, there is absolutely no warping! Fantastic! Thanks guys for building a great little printer. Print temperature is also tracked in the bottom of the Box3d and is nice and low. The electronics will not be cooked, thus.

Found on Thingiverse EDIT, sure it is for the UM3, but from what I can see the mounting is the same for the UM3 and the UMS3/S5

Sorry if I'm boring power users with knowledge that they are familiar with, but I stumbled on this and thought I might share. During one of my projects and playing with TPU/PLA combinations I noticed the following feature. If two STLs are merged in the same material, the inner walls are sliced as separate walls and not filled as usual. At the time it was undesired and I solved it by generating the STLs as one for the material that was the same. A few months later I made a filament spool attachment for my drill that is shared on Thingiverse. The first version was made as one STL and the drill attachment simply snapped off. Remembering my multi STL use case. I used it here to make a far more durable solution. The two models were imported into Cura. In OpenSCAD they are on the correct coordinates to merge with the hexagon fitting snugly in the part. Below are the slicing results of the dual STL that were merged in Cura: As comparison, here are the slice results if the part was imported as a single STL.

Indeed. That is essentially what I was steering at.

It should be noted that experiences with a Creality with Bowden tubes can't be translated directly to the Ultimakers. The Ultimakers work very well with the Bowden tubes. With the drive off the moving mass, it does have advantages.

My S3 showed a strange behaviour. After the printer complained about differing heights on the print cores, the printer complained with "Print core error" Print core in head slot 1-2 is taking too long to warm up" The printer was then rebooted with the menu button and after restart the printer temperature on core 2 kept going up reaching 320 degrees with the set point and heater for core 2 set to 0. (viewed in the temperature graphs). Holding onto the tip showed a slight drop in the temperature subsequently creeping up again. Yes, I can handle quite some heat. A complete power cycle did not change anything. Only after removing the core with the error, because the normal procedure was stuck on waiting the core to cool down, the problem was solved. Who can explain this? What can be done to fix this?

I forked the Spoolmaker and added a few features to the tool: 1: The materials list is sorted alphabetically 2: The label in custom materials is added in the name 3: There is a filter added to filter the list. The filter is smart case. If you add an upper case, the search is case sensitive, otherwise it is case insensitive https://github.com/fmgrotepass/Spool-Maker The pull request was submitted to add this to the main version

Recently I upgraded from the UM3 to the S3. The S3 is a very nice upgrade. Thanks, guys. What I do notice is the Y axis of the S3 has 10mm less range than the UM3. It so happens that one of my projects fitted on the UM3, but fails to fit on the S3. Looking at the boundaries there should be space available on the axes to do the last bit, but I can't access it. I can understand the choice to have a print bed with the full size as promised being available and thus limit the size to match the promised range, but it does look as if the printer has the extra range and it is artificially blocked. Is there a way to access this extra range?

This is an old problem but I think I've cracked it... My WiFi was working flawlessly with 5.3.0, but in preparing my unit for sale, I did a factory reset. In setting up I suffered from the WiFi issues mentioned in this thread. It was not clear as an incorrect password would de rejected, but with a correct password things went askew. I attached a LAN cable and did some digging, but found nothing. Then I thought back how I set up the printer and considered the 2+ connected printer behaviour... I set up the digital factory via the LAN and after that, setting up the WiFi worked!

After looking into the mechanism I think it could be because I had the wrong material selected. This seems to only be applicable with PLA.

Hi, At this point in time I have both a 3 and an S3 in my workshop. The S3 was acquired for a very reasonable price and the 3 is on sale with a potential buyer coming by some time soon. Whilst editing a project in Cura with the 3, I switched to the S3 in my profile and suddenly all the new profiles that could be selected disappeared. If I chose a test S3 profile, I could select the profiles, but when I selected the connected S3. The profiles disappeared. Only factory resetting the S3 restored the profiles (although the Visual Fast is still missing). How could I restore these without a factory reset? How can I acquire the profiles to import them from scratch if this happens again?
