Could time and material consumption be added? This is great for standardizing filenames. It is nice at a glance in a fileviewer to learn so much about a file before opening in Cura.

Where do you live in the Netherlands?

I’m an Application Engineer for Ultimaker in the U.S. and if you email americas@ultimaker.com and mention my name I can help you with a benchmark print. Or just DM what part and material you’re after.
I saw and responded on Reddit as well. We’ve had customers (Sylatech) use PLA for investment casting parts. An even better low-ash material is PolyMaker PolyCast and currently used by foundry houses.

Hard to say, maybe the wifi card got loose in shipping? You're not doing something wrong. It is supposed to work without any other intervention beyond the UI switch. Reseller contact is best. Sorry for the troubles, just a momentary setback.

Thanks for the note nicolinux- not a rant, just a first time opener post from an early adopter- on the last straw of a 2X ready to plunk down the next $$$$ on a new machine, but which?? I'm hopeful that we have come pretty far in 5 years and that the UM community could really shed some light on where and how far its come and where it has sat still so that I can get a user centric consensus on the S5. In NY ( a designer filled city in the USA ya know) there is nowhere to see Ultimaker S5 3D printer units working , succeeding, failing and displayed with all the various add ons that I see on line. If the base S5 is great, then starting out , the adding should not be needed. Are they? I read plenty of articles but the hands on - for a hands on guy- is truly missing. the 3D hub ratings are..ehh. The UM forum seems open and cooperative in fairly assessing some very specific details and I can only hope that the typical clogging, warping and non sticking problems have seriously nearly vanished with the 3-5 basic build materials. Have they on the S5 ?
Ultimaker has an office at New Lab, not only do they use them but nearly every hardware startup in the building. You might be able to visit them. Your MakerBot story has been told over and over and over, unfortunately. Are Ultimakers perfect? No, but you can run just about any material known to man and a HUGE community of third-party products exists around them. Alternatives to glass build platforms etc... The one problem I have with the S5 is the wifi disconnecting during a long build. It is annoying but will be fixed with the next firmware. What has been lifesaving is the printer pausing when filament runs out on a 6 day build. I simply went through the filament change routine, hit resume and went away. I print large prints over 2=6 days with zero worries. KPF architects using them worldwide. You never said your budget but Um's range from $3400-$6k for dual extrusion capable printers. $2500-$3k for a single extrusion model. The only problem I have with 3d hubs ratings is this only represents hubs operators that may use our machines for business. It is my understanding the 50-60% of our sales are to the professional market. The next 20-30% is into the education market. The rest are a mix of small business and individuals. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can help.

Actually it looks like Combing All and Combing Off seem the same? I think Maybe Combing Not in Skin might work? I'll try it. I'm in the same town as Nathan. ?
I'm printing one now in Spiralize because it looks perfect for this. Especially with a .8 core. I'll try Combing Not in Skin to test your intended result.Combing Not in Skin

Yep, that worked great! Combing Not in Skin, this is Fast Mode, BTW.

I've now had a bad experience with Breakaway supporting a relatively delicate structure. The item below was printed in Polycarbonate, but had relatively thin walls. I was probably too cautious and printed this with scaffolding both inside and outside the structure. As a result the final print was pretty well enclosed with Breakaway. I left if for a week before I started the clean up, which may have allowed the Breakaway to harden more than if I had tried this right after printing. On the right below, you will see the damage I did as I tore Breakaway off the print. if you compare the picture on the right with the picture on the left, where I was more successful, you can see how the dividing columns between the circular openings got broken away. What you also don't see from these pictures is that the structure ultimately sheared horizontally along a mid line, as a result of some of the force I had to use.
Towards the last third of this tidy-up I was starting to refine my techniques, and could probably have reduced the damage I did.
However, this has just convinced me that soluble PVA may still have its uses when I need to support relatively fragile structures.
Have you looked into using support ONLY for the Support Interface? The support is printed with your main material. It saves your support material consumption, and money!

Hello, Nathan! Looks like I need to come visit! This is a Spiralize Outer Contour (Special mode) print? I'd be happy to try printing the model for comparison on my S5.

Hmmm, is this a bug or is it my antivirus? Windows 8.1, run as administrator.
Oh no! I'm not sure. I was able to use it but I'm on Windows 10 at the moment.

It is uploaded, I understand servers are catching up and approx in the upcoming few hours it should be available to everyone always. Now it shows up to 1 in 3 visits. (secret trick, if you refresh your page you can beat the odds and it will show up after 2 or 3 refreshes). Sorry for the inconvenience guys!
Yep, DOWNLOADING NOW!

Yep, do NOT use the stock core or you will bore out the nozzle and wear down the tip. There is a third-party solution from 3d Solex that people use pretty successfully. You'll want to buy the HardCore EVERLAST Ruby Sapphire Nozzles for abrasives.

Just a heads up that if you are headed to New York for Maker Faire, Ultimaker is partnering up with MatterHackers for a meetup at FatCat FabLab the Thursday before. This is our second year, it is a lot of fun, and a good event to network before the crazy Maker Faire weekend begins!
You can also meet the entire Ultimaker North America Community team, Matt Griffin, Liz Arum, and Luis Rodriguez. We will also have many Ultimaker Community members in attendance, including UltiArjan and Gr5!
Details about the meetup are below and let us know if you want to meetup onsite at Maker Faire!

No matter. It hasn't worked properly on my Samsung S8 for months anyway. When I connect to it I can see the camera view of the build plate with a message saying Already authorized, but when I touch the Connect to this Ultimaker 3, I get "The printer is not connected, make sure the device and the printer are connected to the same network, blah, blah, blah, please try again".
I've posted requests for a fix several times, but never received any sort of positive response.
Seems it's been abandoned . . . So sad.:(
If all you need is access to the camera than just use the below format for the IP of your machine and add:
Your_machine_ip:8080/?action=snapshot
or
Your_machine_ip:8080/?action=stream
You can read all about the configuration of the UM3 with the 6-day thread that David Braam hosted some time ago:

Many people have used these feeders on Ultimakers. Here is one expert user, below, who used just the Bondtech drive gears. The instructions look pretty good, the only concern might be price?
-
You can see what Ultimaker uses in their Maintenance kit. Sewing Machine oil. Literally $4 at Walmart. Very light. Anything else will turn into a black dirty mess and harm the rods. Trust us, we are here to help you. Or take your chances with a $2500 machine.

The printer in question doubles as a laser embosser / cutter and needs to be online for significant periods of time...I am actually more willing to disable the USB functionality on the Cura side but have not found the location of the plugins on OSX. Nor do I know if I can simply whack that particular plugin!
Right-click on the Cura icon in the finder and choose "show package contents".
Under Resources | Plugins | Plugins there is a USBPrinting folder. I assume it is that.
What printer do you have?
-
It Really doesn't seem like its something to do with clogging, but ill check tonight.
Are you saying your axis' are not square?
-
Maybe try an atomic method? Seems unlikely since the 2+ upgrade includes a whole new assembled head. Which Cura profile did you use? Can you let the print finish a bit further so we can see a sidewall print? I use a gecko plate and heat won't hurt anything. You can take teh plate off to cool it quicker anyways.
-
What temps are you using? Does it do the same on the glass? What does Gecko suggest?
