Hello Everyone, I recently updated the firmware of my Ultimaker S5 (with materials station) to 8.3.1 and I started having weird issues. The first is that if I need to abort a print, the printer essentially freezes or locks up on the "Aborting Print" screen. I've waited for well over an hour on three different occassions just to make sure it wasn't taking longer than normal. When it does this I the printer won't allow me to perform any other in-machine tasks, so I have to shut off the printer and restart it. I've even tried the "Reset all printer settings" option, but it has not worked. It was during this point that I also discovered the second issue: the Wi-Fi is completely disabled on the printer--the option to turn it on/off is set to off and is completely greyed out. Did I mess something up when I updated the firmware or is this something different and any ideas on how I go about fixing it? Thanks!

I loaded the file and it looks like it's printing where it should (the extruder is no longer about 2cm above the bed). So I decided to see what would happen if I re-enabled the plugins one at a time, starting with Barbarian Units, and then z Offset. Both times the "G92" command is no longer there. So I guess the z Offset plugin didn't initialize correctly or something. Thanks so much @gr5 and @ahoeben! 😁

Thanks for being patient with me. I did what you said -disabled my plugins, restarted cura, and resliced. I see that it still has the "G0 z20.001" and the G92 line is now gone, everything else looks the same.

Hello guys and thanks again for all the help! @gr5, yes I get the exact same thing when I slice: cube and brim are firmly attached to the bed in CURA (I typically toggle the "drop model down" option off and then on again to make sure). I'll go ahead and run it again and then do a run with an older project and my normal PLA. I do have the Z-Offset plugin installed and set to -0.1mm and it didn't appear to cause problems with other prints. I'm not sure if this matters, but I ran my other parts using CURA on my old workstation, this is my first slicing on my new rig. @ahoeben I found the "Extensive Z Offset Processing" setting and it was deactivated. I think that is what it has been in the past because I did not even know it was a setting until now. I'll give it a try too and keep you guys posted. In the mean time here is the .ufp file. d3_ TestCube.ufp

Here is my project file. Thanks for the help @gr5! d3_ TestCube.3mf

Hello Everyone, this is my first post so hopefully everything goes well: I have an Ultimaker S5 with materials station that I have been using for work for about 9 months now. I have had pretty good success printing Tough PLA with PVA supports, and am now trying to print using the Ultrafuse 17-4PH filament with the 0.4 CC core (using the material profile from the Market). All I want to print is a small test cube as a learning tool, but I am running into a big problem. I slice the model and load it into the printer. It does the auto-leveling and all the start up stuff it normally does, however when it comes time to start extruding, the nozzel is about an inch above the print bed and creates and unholy (and massively wasteful) mess. I haven't had this issue before and I can't really find anything here that seems to be similar to my situation. I have no idea what this issue is or what info I should provide because I still classify myself as "below novice" when it comes to this. So here is what I have at the moment: Ultimaker S5 w/ materials station Core 1/2: 0.4CC/0.4BB Ultrafuse 17-4PH SS filament 2.85mm Cura v. 5.50 Any help would really be appreciated! Keep in mind I'm maybe only one step above "have you checked to make sure it is plugged in" levels of know-how.
