I've never printed with draft shields on S5s! It's not very common to print an ooze shield on newer Ultimaker Generations.
What problem are you trying to solve with a draft/ooze shield?
I'll have to check with our Print Profile Experts if they have any tips regarding the flow settings.
Hi MariMakes,
Thanks for the reply! I'm printing with some high temp materials, like Nylon, Polycarbonate, and AquaSys120, that really benefit from higher chamber temps. With the chamber limited to 50C and rarely reaching even that temp, it's really not warm enough for some materials I'd like to print. I find that using a draft shield and a hot build plate can get the air temp immediately around the print up another 5-10 degrees, which may not sound like much, but its enough to make a meaningful difference in layer adhesion and hence z-axis tensile strength.
I suspect the draft shield might be taking its flow and speed settings from the prime tower settings, but confirmation on that would be very helpful. Thank you very much for your assistance.
