Ultimaker 2+ swapping material doesnt work...

Hi guys,

so i started printing as usual, the plan was to resume the print after 7 hours with a different material as i used to do:

Pause it, select Change material etc.

Now this time after the 7 hours, i went throught that process again. When the Printer threw the old material out, i selected PLA as i always do (cause i print with PLA). Then though, it said:

Heating printhead for material Insertion.

then after some time, the "heating" changed into a "cooling" and then swapped between the two every second or so. Now i couldnt even resume the print as the material was already ejected. I had to factory reset the Printer, loaded the material and did a test print to see, whether the Problem still remained.

Now it did the same Thing again.

Is this a Software bug? I mean, all temperature sensors must be working fine since it started printing.

Any tips? I mean i could try to install the very latest Software update, since it didnt do the bug before i updated i a month ago or so...

Greets, Ka

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
