Posted · S5 didn't recognize it ran out of filament

I recently started a new job, and here we have a S5 machine. I am currently used to Prusa, as this is what I have at home.

 

I started a print job yesterday before I left work, and arrived this morning to find the printer announce a completed job, but the printer had ran out of filament about mid print. I believe the printer should have a filament sensor to pause the print, but this didn't happen in this case. Any quick ways to test if the filament sensor is faulty or stuck?

    Go through the menus.  Pretty quickly you can find an option to enable/disable the filament sensor.  I have an S5 but don't use the filament sensor and I have never run out of filament.  It's not that hard to make sure there is filament on the printer but this a nice feature sometimes.

    Thanks gr5!

     

    I went into the menu, and as soon as I enabled the sensor, the ongoing print paused. So it seems someone has disabled it due to it not functioning properly. I will look into this next week.

      • 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.
