Inside of the printer
Small pieces of material can gather inside the printer, such as priming blobs. Remove these regularly from the
inside of the printer by taking the following steps:
1. Raise the build plate by navigating to Conguration → Build plate and select Raise
2. Clean the inside of the printer with a microber cloth or vacuum cleaner. Pay extra attention to the area around
the Z limit switch as obstructions here can cause print problems
Leaving larger objects on the bottom panel can lead to errors, as they prevent the build plate
from properly homing.
Air Manager and Material Station
It is recommended to clean the glass door of the Material Station and the cover of the Air Manager regularly
to remove dust or ngerprints. All the surfaces – except the Air Manager lter - can be cleaned by using a
damp microber cloth.
Only use water and mild detergent to clean the Material Station and Air Manager.
5.5 Lubricate the axles
To make sure that your print head and Z stage can move smoothly at all times, it is advised to lubricate the axles
every month after the rst year of printing. Dry axles can show ias small ridges on print surfaces. Apply some oil to
the axles at least once a month.
A bottle of oil is included in the accessory box of your Ultimaker S5. This oil is specically for the smooth axles of the
Ultimaker S5. Only use the supplied oil, as using other oils or grease may aect the coating of the axles, which can
aect the performance of your Ultimaker S5.
X and Y axles
Apply a small drop of oil to each of the X and Y axles as well as both print head shafts. Manually move the print
head around to evenly distribute the oil.
Do not apply too much oil to the axles, as it might drip from the axles on to the build plate, which will aect
print adhesion. If a drop of oil does fall on the build plate, make sure to clean it thoroughly before printing.
Z axles
Apply a small drop of oil to each of the Z axles. In the Ultimaker menu, go to Conguration → Build plate. Select Raise
and then Lower to move the build plate up and down in order to evenly distribute the oil.
