Ultimaker S5 Print Core AA meltdown

Posted · Ultimaker S5 Print Core AA meltdown

Hi Community,

I am using the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle, which had worked fine since delivery (2 months).

But this morning, the over night print job was ruined due to a melt down on Print Core AA!

Please see pictures attached.

I replaced the defective Print Core with a spare Print Core.

During startup of the first print job after Print Core AA replacement, an error ocurred, telling that Active Leveling could not be performed.

This happened twice.

I investigated the Print Head, but could not find any anormalities.

But somehow it seems that the Print Head has been misaligned by the defective Print Core.

I took a picture of the empty Print Head. Please see attached.

 

Can anyone help me on this issue?

Best Regards.

    Hi again,

    I investigated the Print Head once again, and I found that the small metal sheet at the bottom was bent.

    You might be able to see it on my last picture.

    I took it out, made it flat, and assembled the Print Head with Print Cores.

     

    After this, I was able to start a print, including the Active Leveling.

     

    I guess that I accidentally had bent the metal sheet during removal of the defective Print Core.

    Since a lot of printing material was melted around the Print Nozzle, some material did also stick to the metal sheet.

     

    So the problem is now solved.

    How do I mark the post "Solved"?

      • 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.
