Can i print only with print core BB 0,4?

[AnaLara 1]

Dear all,

 

The sensor temperature of print core AA 0,4 of my printer S5 is broken, so I guess if it is possible to use only the print core BB 0,4 mm to print.

Could it be possible? Thank you so much.

Hi no you can only print support materials like pva through the bb print core type as far as I understand. You can buy a replacement as 0.4mm print core for £300 at rs.com

As long as you have two printcores installed you can print with the BB-core, the printer and Cura will complain but it works fine (for PLA at least). I fixed a few "broken" BB-cores and printed a PLA test-print with each.
