Printer offline in Digital Factory


Recommended Posts

Posted · Printer offline in Digital Factory

After finishing a print earlier today, the S5 is offline in Digital Factory. Print over network in Cura is still available and the printer is connected to the network as it always have been.

I've restarted the printer, re-initialized DF on the printer and (after a couple of tries) added the printer. It showed up as 'online' for a moment, but when I went to the DF library to start a print, the printer was offline again.

 

It's getting frustrating, I've got prints to make and I've wasted a couple of hours today trying to fix it.

I'll start the print from Cura for now, but that's not why we spend big bucks on a complete solution...

Now for the kicker: after starting the print from Cura, the printer suddenly goes online in DF..

 

The S5 is on the latest firmware. Any ideas on how to get it back to work?

Thanks!

    Hi Multitube,

     

    That connection issue sounds very awkward indeed.

    In order to debug, would you mind sharing your printer log with us, so we can debug what exactly was going on with your printer?

    Regarding how to get the log, you may refer to: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015583819-Save-log-files-to-USB

     

    Please let me know if you have further questions.

     

    Best regards, xli

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
