PLA filment will not be pushed through the AA 0.4 core anymore S5

Posted · PLA filment will not be pushed through the AA 0.4 core anymore S5

Hi all,

 

Yesterday a printjob broke down because the PLA wire broke while printing.  A little piece of PLA was stuck  in the shaft of the AA 0.4 printcore.  I did not succeed in pushing the piece of PLA through the printcore. I tried the core clean options, the hot pull and cold pull. It did not work.

   

We had to continue printing so I placed a new AA 0.4 printcore. After placing the new core I reloaded  the PLA wire and it did not want to be pushed through the new clean AA 0.4 printcore. It lookt like the printcore was not getting hot engough but the S5 did not gave an error or something. I tried normal PLA and tough PLA. It dit not get trought the printcore. After a view tries of reloading diferent rolls of PLA I pudated the firmware. It didn't help. Resetting the S5 to factory settings, It didn't help.

 

I tried to switch the BB0.4 printcore fot the  AA 0.4 printcore in to the printcore 2 of the S5, so the PLA would be pushed through the other feeder. Reloaded and again it wouldn't get through the AA0.4 printcore. So I don't know what the problem is.  

 

I don't know what to do anymore, in one day I have two AA 0.4 printcores who do not work anymore. I can't continue printing. I looks like the printcore is not getting hot enough but agian, no error on the S5. Is anyone familiar white this problem? Does anyone have a solution beside buying new AA 0.4 printcores?

 

We are making great things with the S5 and sometimes prints fail but it is an awesome 3D printer to work with. It is a weird problem.  I uloaded two movies as a zip file and two pictures. One picutere of the first AA 0.4 core withe the piece of PLA in the shaft and one picture of the PLA wire that I tried to push through the printcore but did not come through. 

 

I hope someone can help me. 

 

Thanks in advace,

Thijs Vreeken

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
