I did the cleaning procedure for print core #2 on an S5. When I performed the cold pull the keeper for the bowden tube came out. After putting it back togther the lift switch won't lock in the forward position with the bowden tube in place and I get the error that the detected difference between the print heads exceeds realistic values and the printer stops.

    Have you tried to remove the collet and put it back, maybe that helps?


    If not here is a video of disassembling the print head, maybe it helps to find the problem.

    I put it back in and the bowden tube will lock in place but if it is in place the lift switch won't lift the extruder #2 and lock in the forward position. There may be a small tube that goes under the keeper but I can't find a parts diagram to show how it is assembled. Extruder #1 looks as though it has a small tube under the keeper that isn't on #2.

        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.
