I'm trying to print structures on a silicone substrate. It worked fine with the S3, but that one now has a problem with error 18, so I tried the S5. The silicone sheet is too soft for the automatic active bed leveling. I know the auto leveling is not supposed to be disabled, but I need to finish this experiment. Is there any way to disable it?

    yes.  It's not too bad.  Slightly buggy: I think you might have to manually level twice in a row or some similar annoyance.  Every time you change either nozzle you have to level again.  It does not remember the "old" leveling (because you may have turned the screws in that time).  Other than that it works pretty well and I did manual leveling for about 50 parts over a month until I decided to go back to active leveling (because I change cores quite often and it got annoying).

      • 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.
