I just got a S5 and this is my first post on the forum. I would like to know how the flow sensor on the S5 is suppose to work? I did had some issue printing with generic PLA. The filament broke a few times over a few prints and unfortunately, everytimes,the printer was just continuing running. I would have except the flow sensor to stop the print... How can I test if the flow sensor if woring fine?
Thanks!
It should have stopped printing “if” the filament sensor is enabled.
Look within your menu options and make certain that it is enabled.
It has worked very well for me; whether the filament gets bound or runs out it stops and allows the issue to be corrected and then commence the print part near seemleasly.
Once you check the setting and assuming the sensor has now been enabled then you can test it by simply starting a test print and then while printing hold the filament to simulate a bind and the print should stop and present an out of material warning. Release the filament and select continue and the print will resume with no issues.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
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.
