Ultimaker S5 having trouble printing large footprint object

· Ultimaker S5 having trouble printing large footprint object
You are probably printing too fast (too much volume) for the temperature. Try cutting the infill speed in half in cura or (only if PLA) try raising the temperature by 20C (but don't go over 240C). Or make the layer height smaller.
Here are top recommended speeds for .2mm layers (twice as fast for .1mm layers) and .4mm nozzle:
20mm/sec at 200C
30mm/sec at 210C
40mm/sec at 225C
50mm/sec at 240C
The S5 can do double these speeds but with some difficulty.
If the above speeds (DANGER - cura has many speeds - check them all) are exceeded for your printing temp and layer height then that's the problem. If they are not exceeded then you have a hardware problem. I can help you diagnose if it's the core or the feeder.
