To assess the status of the printer and its capability to comply with the accuracy level certified by TÜV SÜD, measure all 8 dimensions as described above with calipers.
Check for debris in Ultimaker S5's front fan of the print head. Leftover strings of filament in object cooling fan. Check for play on the Ultimaker S5 axles. Ensure the printhead bolts are properly screwed tight. Check the tension of Ultimaker S5 short belts. Spool left in open air more than 2 hours. If the benchmark print shows visual artefacts, follow the troubleshooting guidelines and perform a reprint. Step 1: Visual InspectionĬompare the benchmark print with the reference picture above. In case Magigoo PA was used as adhesive and the part cannot be removed with minimal force from the plate by hand, place the build plate in a dissolution bath for 1-2 hours. Tip: These material bay and extruder combinations have the least curvature in the filament paths and provide the most reliable print experience. In case of using the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle: place spools at the sides (bay A for extruder 1, bay F for extruder 2). Clean the tip of the print core, ensuring no residues are on the tip. Cut the filament to a sharp tip to facilitate entry into the nozzle. For smaller parts, clean bare glass is recommended. Tip: For very large parts, Magigoo PA is recommended to reduce chance of warping. Using a bare glass plate (cleaned with isopropanol prior to use) also offers good adhesion. In order to improve adhesion and facilitate part removal, Magigoo PA may be used. Retraction / moves back and forth (top section). Overhangs steep overhangs and 45° degree angle overhangs. This model features different design elements to test the printer capabilities. The model to check the printer’s condition is the "Ultimaker Y coupler". With this calibration print, potential issues can be identified and solved by troubleshooting guidelines to enhance print quality. Before starting, ensure that the material has been installed in Ultimaker Cura and on your printer ( see article here). To validate the printer's condition, open the project file (see bottom of the page) and print this model without changing any settings in the project file. Every 3 months if the printer has been used only a little.
Every month if the printer has been used extensively. If major issues are observed, if the printer has been moved, or if components have been replaced, and the set-up needs to be re-validated. Before your first print, to validate the set-up is in optimal condition. The Calibration Print is recommended to be executed prior to printing with LEHVOSS LUVOCOM 3F Filament PAHT® 9825 NT in the following situations: Project File "Ultimaker Y Coupler Calibration Model" IntroductionĪ Calibration Print has been developed to ensure that your printer set-up meets all requirements for reproducible, accurate prints.
