I'm starting to try and print some NylonX with my S5, and I'm going to try using PVA as my support material. Both are in separate dry boxes and have been for about 12 hours at this point and I plan to print from the boxes. My question was should I use PVA as the whole support material? Or I saw some suggestions about a roof setting in CURA that would mean it only uses the PVA at the interface between support and part? Not sure which will work better here. I guess I can try and see, but thought I'd ask advice first. Thanks!

Thanks Dustin, I've been through that article backwards and forwards the last few days 🙂

Okay here's where it fails in the log. I'm not sure how bed leveling works. I know there's a capacitive sensor, and the metal bed below. But I don't know how it detects the nozzles touching. Is there a little modulated signal going through the heads? Are they using the heat of the nozzles over the bed at that point? Just a general capacitive change doesn't seem like enough o be measuring mm but I'm sure I could be wrong 🙂 2024-03-14T23:24:53.913325+0000 ultimakersystem-9159ddb29b69428b9884299aa0854caa PrinterService[531]: INF - probingController:191 - Found peak @ 150.000 2024-03-14T23:24:53.921396+0000 ultimakersystem-9159ddb29b69428b9884299aa0854caa PrinterService[531]: INF - probeResultProcessor:74 - 1 list: {0: ProbeReport (nozzle: 0, datetime: 2024-03-14_23.22.54 offset: 0, probe points: []), 1: ProbeReport (nozzle: 1, datetime: 2024-03-14_23.22.54 offset: 0, probe points: [])} 2024-03-14T23:24:53.971066+0000 ultimakersystem-9159ddb29b69428b9884299aa0854caa MarvinService[451]: WAR - marvinService:130 - Added Fault: <Fault: level=4 code=48 message='The found Z-level 150.000 is not within the expected range [-30.000, 150.000]' data='dbus.Dictionary({}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv'))'> 2024-03-14T23:24:54.013787+0000 ultimakersystem-9159ddb29b69428b9884299aa0854caa Okuda[2620]: INFO Okuda.DBus.PrinterServiceProxy Processing error: PrinterError(level: 4, code: 48, msg: 'The found Z-level 150.000 is not within the expected range [-30.000, 150.000]') 2024-03-14T23:24:54.013787+0000 ultimakersystem-9159ddb29b69428b9884299aa0854caa Okuda[2620]: " 151.927 qml [bootup] ErrorDialog overlay: Code,Level,text= 48 4 Active leveling could not be performed.

When the left core is printing, shouldn't the right core be up and out of the way instead of hanging down? I was wondering if maybe there was a sensor for that, that wasn't working right.

I can ssh in, but wasn't sure where the logs were stored. I didn't see anything in var. Are both nozzles hitting the glass at the same time? I guess not? That wouldn't make sense I think? No the right nozzle hangs lower like you say. It hits the glass first and then the head pushes down on it until the second nozzle hits the glass. So first the right nozzle hits the glass and then does the bed quickly drop down? No the bed drops shortly after the second nozzle (on the left) makes contact. Then the test fails. So Right nozzle touches glass, the head moves lower until the left nozzle hits the glass, then it drops.

Thank you. I have tried manually leveling several times but I still have this issue. I was thinking of manually leveling but leaving more space by eye. But that seems wrong.

I have a S5, but I'm new to working with it. I'm trying to get both extruders working together so I ran the xy calibration. What happens is the first head puts down a rectangle of material, and then when it comes around for the next pass of material the second nozzle catches what's on the bed and drags it off. The second nozzle appears to start and be in the down position. I've seen it raise it by hitting that little plastic catch on the right hand side before. It's not so low that it touches the glass but just low enough that it drags through and ruins the print. Is this a common issue? Should that nozzle be in the up position but it just isn't for some reason? Thank you.

I just started trying to use our S5 with a 0.6CC core in the left slot and a 0.4BB core in the right slot for support material. I've been trying to run the XY calibration but it always fails at bed leveling. Here's what happens. The head moves to the back right corner. Then it moves down to the build plate until it makes contact with the right print nozzle. Next it slowly pushes down until it makes contact with the left print nozzle. As soon as it makes contact with the second one the bed drops down about half an inch and then it says the leveling failed. I have tried: manually leveling the build plate manually leveling the build plate but leaving more space resetting the build plate to the factory position per ultimaker docs. running the leveling sensor diagnostics (result is a 2.3) cleaning the print nozzles disconnecting the front fan Are there any logs I can read through somewhere to learn more information? I'm an EE, is there anything I can measure to learn more about why its failing? I manually disabled leveling and tried to print but I didn't have good bed adhesion. I took out the CC head and it looks clean to me. I'm going to pull the other one and check it too. Thank you.
