Hello! Ultimaker is always looking for new colleagues to join our team. This is often the case for our headquarters in the Netherlands, but not solely! An interest and experience with 3D printing would obviously put you ahead of the competition, so I figured I would share some job applications here as well since we all check thát box 🙂 If you are interested to work at Ultimaker, please check out this link and see if there is a job that you like. While I'm writing we're looking for new colleagues at Research and Development, Marketing and Communications, Product Management, Distribution and Sales, Supply Chain and Assembly, Employee Experience (HR), Finance and IT, and Internships. So basically.. everywhere. We're looking forward hearing from you!

I've never heard or seen it before. What you noticed in the filament, was it silver or brass? I know you said it was a brass sliver, but in the scope-photo I can't really see anything brass. Have you been using Ultimaker filament or also third-party filament? I'm asking because it is possible with cheaper filament that dirt or other particles can end up in the filament, and perhaps such an artifact was blocking your nozzle. I have seen such reports, but not with Ultimaker filament. @Smithy's suggestion is also a good one. I imagine that the location of this brim could tell us if it could be part of the block or not? (I imagine if it lies somewhere on top of the melted filament it can have happened during disassembly, but if it was in the filament or even in the nozzle it probably was in there longer already.

Welcome @ScanHD , great news and we're happy to have you! Please keep us updated when your Ultimaker S5 will arrive and share your findings 🙂 As the community has been helpful to you, I think such reports can be helpful for others to read as well! Your line of work and applications sound pretty exciting! Have you already looked into the variety of materials that is available, and which you are considering using?

I think it was a case of mistaken identity and posted in the wrong thread. I moved it to Cura!

Ik denk niet dat ik hier nog veel aan toe hoef te voegen. Jammer dat ik gelijk had @3dcase! Als je primaire behoefte meer capaciteit is dan neig ik ook eerder naar het advies van David; meer UM3's ipv 1 UMS5. Argument van abrasive materials vind ik ook een goede, maar je zegt niet echt om meer materiaal verlegen te zijn. (anderzijds, aanbod stuurt ook de vraag). Wat betreft materiaal, kun je misschien deze thread in de gaten houden voor meer informatie. In theorie zijn alle materialen op zowel UMS5 en UM3 te gebruiken, tenzij ze abrasive zijn. Dan alleen UMS5.

Thank you for your responses. What is it exactly what you read which makes you reconsider? Perhaps we can help by providing either perspective, context or help. Looking forward hearing from you! (feel free to create a new topic for this).

Hi, Materials are a crucial element of a successful 3D printing workflow. For certain applications you just need a specific material up for the task, otherwise it will never hold. Whether that is flame retardant, reinforced composites or wear resistant. At Ultimaker we know how important this flexibility and freedom of choice is and that is why we started a Material Alliance together with the largest and most relevant material manufacturers. This already consists of over 120 materials and the list is growing every month. Each material has a profile that is tailored to an Ultimaker 3D printer, so you no longer need to trial and error your way to a useful print! If you're curious if we have a material that matches a particular need you have? Visit our materials page and use the filter to get a clear overview of which materials could be an option for you. We have also started a series of posts where we explain certain properties more in debt. You may find them interesting to read: First up: ESD safety.
