First of all - you can't just print an existing gcode file with a mismatched nozzle. You need to slice specifically with a 0.25mm line width.
So I'm guessing what happened is it was trying to cram too much filament through that tiny nozzle and eventually it ground down the filament at the feeder. That's one theory. Another theory is that the nozzle was too far above the glass plate. If filament isn't sticking to the glass plate, try pushing up gently with your finger on the bed and if it starts working then you can just turn the 3 screws CCW (looking from below) 1/2 turn or so to raise it a bit.
In general you want to print really small things - usually things smaller than 1cm (half inch) with the 0.25mm nozzle. You can do line widths down to 0.2mm and still get decent quality. Usually I have to print 3 or even 7 objects such that each one has time to cool while printing the others. You might want to lower the bed temp to around 50C if the prints are coming out a bit blobby. And print slow - like 25mm/sec or even slower. You want max possible fan - it might help to have a desk fan blowing some air into the front of the printer. And print on the cool side - lower nozzle temp by 5C or so versus normal.
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.
