UM5 Pro - Material Station Filament Not Releasing from spool

· UM5 Pro - Material Station Filament Not Releasing from spool
We have 2 bundles. the material station on one is going back for service with an inoperative prefeeder caused by grinding after a PVA jam. The jam was cleared, but apparently the prefeeder clogged up and there is not adequate tension for the prefeeder to complete the feed. After the filament slips a bit it errors out. There does not appear to be a way for the user to service the prefeeder which means every time this occurs, it needs to be shipped back for service. is there a user procedure to clean the prefeeder? Having a device prone to PVA jams/breaks which cannot be serviced on site is very suboptimal.

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.
