The UltiMaker S5 has a max nozzle temperature of 280°C, which may be below the minimum recommended 350°C for PEI / ULTEM. Printing may be possible at the lower end of the temperature range but results may be suboptimal.

Qué hacer en su lugar

  • Your printer's hotend maxes out at 280°C, but PEI / ULTEM needs at least 350°C. No amount of tuning can overcome this hardware limitation.
  • Try a compatible filament for your UltiMaker S5 — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
  • If you need PEI / ULTEM specifically, you'll need a printer with an all-metal hotend rated for 350°C+ nozzle and 130°C+ heated bed.
