Posted · Replacing the S5 printhead & cable

I head a major filament jam that destroyed my S5 printhead. Ultimaker very kindly accepted that this was a warranty issue, and sent me a replacement printhead with its electrical connector and cable. Since the cable is also damaged, I would like to replace it as well. However, I do not know how to get to the connector between the motherboard and the cable. What do I need to disassemble in order to expose the motherboard-cable connector?

    An official training at Ultimaker with a certificate. Users are not supposed to open the bottom plate of the S5. If the cable is damaged you probably will have no other choice but to bring in the printer for warranty repair.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
