There is only one option that seems to be possible and that would be having the door of the material station completely open in order to feed the filament from a 3kg spool in the guide holes. But then the station would give you a warning after a couple of hours because the humidity isn't decreasing, letting the station think that there is an error with the unit.
Disconnecting one of the guide tubes at the back won't work because there are sensors in the buffer unit so the station will think that the material in the station is empty.
Only really working option is to disconnect the S5 from the station and to reboot the printer. This way it becomes a standalone printer again and you can place the spool on the back. After you finished using this spool reconnect the station with the printer and reboot again in order to enable it.
The material station can simply handle spools up to 1kg max. Having an S3 or 2+Connect enables me to also print from bigger spools although I almost never have bigger spools...
Respooling might be better with the right tools? Like a power drill adapter?

· Combine material station with external?
yeah thats what i have been doing so far, door open.
I think i might be able to make (print?) something to prop the door and still allow external spools to feed. Might be an idea, i'll report back with a design if it works.
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.
