Nozzle not cleaned when changed


Recommended Posts

Posted · Nozzle not cleaned when changed

Printer: S5 w/material station and air manager.

Software version: 8.3.1

Problem:

After finishing printing with white filament using a 0.8AA nozzle.

The next  print-job was also assigned the same white filament, but I changed the nozzle to

a 0.4AA nozzle which previously had printed black filament.

The printer detected the nozzle change, but failed to understand that the changed nozzle had to be cleaned before starting a new job.

This resulted in a couple of black layers in the printed object before the content of the nozzle changed to white.

This should be easy to fix in the software.

    The printer doesn’t know (or care?) what was previously printed with a core. It’s the same if you change the Printcore on a standalone S5 with material loaded, the only way to prime it is unloading the material before or after the swap and let it reload it, so it initiates a priming sequence. I’m also doing this with the Material Station attached, just click "unload" in the material settings and then change the core.
    But I’m in the same boat and think it should always prime the Printcore after a swap no matter what was loaded before since the cores could be laying around a while (or are new and don’t have anything in them).

      • 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.
