Ultimaker S5 extrusion issue

Posted · Ultimaker S5 extrusion issue

After a year of use, I started to have an issue with extrusion. During the first layer, the print core will start to clog and the filament will grind up in the feeder. The first layer seems to be pretty thin, but I'm not sure if this is my imagination. The printer is up to date for the firmware, and I went through the whole list of maintenance to try to troubleshoot the issue. After replacing the print core, manual leveling the bed, cleaning out the feeder, adding magnalube to the feeder gear, and greasing or lubing all of the axis, I'm still having the issue. To top it off, Cura is now unable to connect to the printer. Any help is appreciated.

    I am using an Ultimaker S5 in my company also for about a year (over 1000h print time). I am now also suffering from underextrusions but I cannot find the source. 

    I cleaned the extruder, I performed a lot of cold pulls and I swapped the print cores. It is still the same result.

      • 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.
