S5 Pro Bundle HELP

[RHSDrafting 0]

Hi, I 'm new to this community. I just purchased the S5 Pro Bundle for my classroom. I have encountered a problem with my first print. The print head runs straight to the front left position and begins to extrude filament for a good bit, then gives me an error about the difference between the print cores. I have upgraded the firmware to the current one and am still having the same issues. Side note, I do have a S5 and 3 extended that work fine. Just curious as to why this one will not work properly out the gate. Thanks in advance.

Hi, welcome to the community! Have you run through all calibration processes? Have you done a manual level first?

I have manually leveled the printer. I just started the XY offset calibration and it was printing off the bed again. It also stopped after a bit and said the difference between the print cores exceeds realistic values.

The XY calibration just ended with nothing on the buildplate. The printcores kept to the outside of the bed on both sides.

Hello,

 

The printer dumping a few strands of filament next to the bed at the beginning and end of a print is normal. I think it only does this when the Material Station is attached, so you may not have seen it before.

 

A blob of plastic stuck to a nozzle or the bed can cause the error about the difference between print cores as it can mess up the height measurements. A poorly seated print core may also cause this problem.

 

Kind regards,

Hello

The behavior of your 3D printer is normal. With Material Station, it behaves differently during initialization.

Please check if the 3D printer actually switches the printer cores. There is a lever on the right side of the print head.

It is operated for this purpose. You can see this at startup.

If it does not, this function can be calibrated.
 

Try this. https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011474120-Lift-switch-calibration

Without this calibration the others are not feasible.

Many greetings
