· PLA meterial will not feed through the nozzle
Most likely causes, I think: (partially) clogged nozzle, deformed teflon coupler, or little fan not working?
After cleaning the nozzle with atomic pulls, make sure you can look through it from above. If you want to use a more gentle atomic pull, instead of brutally pulling, try my method here: https://www.uantwerpen.be/nl/personeel/geert-keteleer/manuals/
Check if the result of the atomic pulls is deformed near the seam of nozzle and teflon? If so, the teflon coupler is worn out.
Check if the material is thickened or molten even before entering into the nozzle: if so, the little fan is not working (it tends to accumulate strings and hairs), and heat travels up too high into the filament.
Manually heat up the nozzle and feed some material into the nozzle, and feel how much resistance you get, and where.

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.
