Material cannot pass through decoupler for extruder 2

Posted · Material cannot pass through decoupler for extruder 2

I’m trying to run calibration on the print heads for my ultimaker s5 with material station. The material for extruder 2 feeds fine until it reaches the decoupler. I can see the material run through the lower Bowden tube until it reaches some point within the decoupler and then it hits something and the machine immediately throws out an error. I have no idea what’s going on here. I’m fairly certain the Bowden tubes are all attached properly, and the whole contraption doesn’t look different from the perfectly functioning decoupler for extruder 1. 
 

the material can retract from this point fine so it’s not getting stuck. It just seems to push out this little bit that clamps onto the Bowden tube all the way and then hits something solid and can’t go any farther.

    What firmware are you running? The reason I ask is because that error has been phased out.  So I recommend updating your firmware.

     

    Take a look at this article ER56 - Printer feeder filament pickup unsuccessful (ultimaker.com)

     

    Now that probably won't resolve the main issue but it may throw a new error code. 

     

    I don't see PVA in your material station but have you printed with PVA before? It likes to break in the decouplers sometimes. 

     

    In this article, you will see a diagram. Is your decoupler extended or not extended? The material failed to load wizard (ultimaker.com)

      • 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.
