There should be a way around this (if it has not been suggested before). Connect the S5 via a lan cable to your Mac (or pc) and setup a temporary network between the two. Then you can see the mac address. The command "arp -a" would be useful too since it shows all connected devices including their MAC address.
It is a nuisance for sure but until it is fixed, it is a workaround. And I disagree about the point that the S5 is not meant for a proffesional environment. Every IT dept. would be able to apply this simple workaround.

Problem was that dilithium was very difficult with legislation, being an accidental space-time warp risk. So we removed that feature last second.

It's bigger. 330x245x315mm to be exact. And that volume can be used by BOTH nozzles. No more less volume for dual extrusion prints. It has a flow sensor, that works for jam detection as we

As for the flow sensor. We (the Mark2 crowd ) almost finished development for an external flow sensor for the UM2+ including firmware integration. Mechanically it fits to the UM3, but connecting to e

A few quick updates.
The second spool (PVA filament) which came with the S5 isn't recognized with NFC, either.
Absolutely no progress in getting the S5 onto a network. Contacted vendor support, vendor support forwarded to distributor. Distributor replied: "... the MAC address can be found in the menu item 'Network'. It may be displayed only if the printer is connected to a network. It is currently not possible to configure the printer with a static IP address..." (translated; Original: "...die MAC-Adresse findet sich im Menüpunkt 'Netzwerk'. Es kann sein, dass diese nur angezeigt wird, wenn der Drucker mit einem Netzwerk verbunden ist. Es lässt sich aktuell keine feste IP-Adresse im Drucker selber vergeben...."). This is rubbish!
Since the MAC address is an access control mechanism, it's completely idiotic to only disclose it after the device was connected to the network - which is impossible because it is an access control mechanism to prevent rogue devices to access the network. Even the cheapest network devices have a sticker with their MAC address attached on the back (see attached photo), or they clearly list the MAC address in their configuration dialogues (e.g. HP network printers) before the device is connected to a network.
As well this as the lack of a possibility to configure a static IP address clearly indicates that the S5 is not truly engineered for a professional environment which usually comes with certain access control restrictions. It's obviously rather a deluxe toy for wealthy hobbyists which might be used in highly permissive commercial environments as well. But not the other way around. This is extremely dissapointing.
