Hello!

Has anyone else had the problem of occasionally getting bugs in their printer? I usually find them around the print cores (see attached picture). We've got the S5 Bundle on a stand and it's cut down on the problem, but we still get some from time to time.

 

If you've had this problem, what did you do to fix it?

    Bug reports should really be made on Github but I'll try to help.

    • Level your bed.
    • Print some more little yellow stickers but put "Keep Out" on them.
    • Moth Balls.  (Although getting them off the moths can be tough).
    • Nothing flammable/combustible.  Mesh aluminum screen might impede the air flow of the fans.
    • Speaking of the fans - I'm surprised you could hear the little screams over the fan noise when the hot ends came to life.

    I have to go now because my tongue is cramping up from being stuck in my cheek.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
