S5 max. operating hours

[icruma 0]

What is the expected lifetime in terms of operating hours of a S5 given the fact that the recommended maintenance plan is fulfilled?

A lot of it is down to factors like the type of filament you print because some printer much hotter, wear stuff more. Then you got the setting the printer is in.

 

I likely have a good 300-400+ days of printing (thats printing hours) on my oldest and its totally fine and not needed anything doing to it yet and its over 2 years old. But that's mostly printing PLA, PVA, Break away, PETG.

 

Only thing i did was replace the bowden tubes end of last year as the maintenance says, even know i had no problems.

Thank you for the feedback.

 

So you are basically saying that your oldest Ultimaker has at least 7.200 printing hours?

Yep that's right, it can be printing almost none stop of days on end, so it don't get much of a break, thats's why i had to get a 2nd to spread the print load so i can give them a break now and then (and so i can use them for myself also and not just orders)
