When you open the front door in order to change a nozzle, you'll see the two wires red and white connected to the captive sensor board. The White colored wire is per definition the ground, -however, when measuring a capacitor we're always
using alternating current (A/C).
There might be a tiny breakage in any of the two wires, but such a small opening can still be good enough for the system to not detect any error..
(We've seen that those two wires may break after some time of use, some break close to the connector and some inside the insulation.)
The connector J7 on the PCB inside the head are used for the captive Sensor board, pin 1 are the red wire and pin 2 are the withe wire. This Withe wire are connected to the shielded metal frame using the two clip holding down the "captive sensor board".
Disconnect P7 from J7 (mounted on PCB)
Use a multi meter set to ohms (beep mode also known as diode mode). Measure between pin 1 on P7 and the pin marked sensor on the sensor board, here you must measure continuity. Move the test stick from sensor to shield (Still holding the other test stick at pin 1 of P7), here there should be no connection or open circuit as we also use to say.
Then make the same measurement between pin 2 on P7 and the shield pin on the sensor board - here for continuity.
Last for continuity between the shield and the metal frame (this is the point that is earthed only via shield, hence floating earth)
I cannot se any reason for the new CC to blame, except for that fact those new CC cores are just upgraded to 30 W heater but this should normally not be any problem for a S5.
Also been thinking about trying a factory reset, sometime this work and sometimes not. Maybe you've done this already?
I tried factory reset.
Today I will make this measurement. This is the best advice to check something until now.
In this moment I am using the printer with deactivated auto leveling.
I don't know why ultimaker dose not give more flexibility in firmware setting, and printer control. It should bi like a CNC machine. To have control on each setting and so on.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

Hello @Torgeir,
