AquaSys120 Causing Bed Leveling Issues on S5

Posted · AquaSys120 Causing Bed Leveling Issues on S5

I just started using AquaSys 120 support material, and while it is printing well, I'm having major issues with bed leveling when I print with it. I'm using the BB0.8 print core and the AquaSys is oozing whenever the nozzle is hot, even if the material is fully retracted from the core (like right after a print). While the printhead is heating up at the front of the machine, the AquaSys forms a little ball on the nozzle which hardens by the time the machine goes to do its first probe. That is causing the core height comparison test to fail and the probing is aborted. It is being kept in the material station and was dried before going in, so it's not a moisture issue. I tried wiping the nozzle at the right moment as well as making sure everything was clean before starting and I'm just getting error after error. If I do the printhead cleaning procedure on the BB core, the subsequent probing works fine, just like it always does, and all other filaments are working fine, so it is something about this particular material and/or profile that is causing the issue. Right now, it's looking like I'm going to need to do an atomic pull after every print to keep the probing from failing on the next print, and that's just a giant pain in the tush. Anyone else run into this? Any idea for a solution? Thanks!

        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.
