Ultimaker S5 strange phenomenon

[chuckmcgee 7]

Once again - @fbrc8-erin seems to have cleared my issues with a suggestion to calibrate the lift switch - this has allowed me to complete the XY calibration (thinking it was working - but maybe the switch didn't fully extend or retract the core? 

Also, I had success with the print core swap when I chose to UNLOAD and then LOAD, as opposed to CHANGE.  If I choose CHANGE and I don't cleanly remove the core during that step of the process (and it slips back into the slot), the sensor reads both the removal and addition in that one move - thinking I just placed the new core.   Now when I choose to UNLOAD first - the sensor stops at the point of the unload.

 

I seem to be back to my issue of the cave in on my lower layers (and the camera issue).  I have a 2-day print going now - then will print the bed with @kmanstudios' project settings.

 

Thanks all!

@kmanstudios Just loaded your project file (UMS5_988243375_UMS5_controlbox-V2K-02mm.curaproject.3mf) and started the print using a brand new roll of eSun Pro+ PLA (black).  11 hour print.  

 

Will post pics of the result!  

 

Thanks again

I am not sure how well this will print as I know people who have had issues with eSun...but, Good luck! :)

 We shall see.  I also have MatterHackers Pro and Ultimaker brand.  Will try MHP after this if it's not good.

Looking forward to your results :)

OK...better, but not unnoticeable with the new project file and the eSun filament:

 

At this point, I am concluding it's the material's sensitivity to the bed heat/cooling/etc.  This is the first time I have printed it with 0.2mm layer height.

Print is done.  It looks like the final product shows a better result.  Somehow...the print rallied?  Who knows.  I am suggesting we close the chapter on this story.  Again - concluding the model was less than ideal given infill settings and layer height.  Also, as I recognize this is not new news...material matters - various sensitivities to the bed heat and cooling

 

Thanks to this amazing community for helping to solve this!

Ahhh, ye be cool...it is what we do here. And I hope to see more of you! :)
