  1. If it sticks then only a bit, depending on the geometry. ASA usually works fine with e.g. Ultimaker Breakaway material.
  2. Support Blocker blocks support, it does not erase it. That means you have to put the support blocker element over the overhang you don't want to have support generated for. From your picture I have the impression that the support blocker element is outside the print object which will not work. Please also check if support horizontal expansion is producing some unwanted support.
  3. A modifier mesh in Cura can achieve this temperature change (on the printer you are limited to +/-25 degC). You can combine it with a PauseatHeight instance for an easy spool change. But you have to fool the printer about the type of material, i.e. it has to be selected manually, e.g. as Generic PLA.
  4. Nylon ist milchig-trüb und hat nichts mit transparent zu tun. Die beste Transparenz erreicht man mit CPE+ Transparent wenn man es bei 260°C, 0.05mm Schichtdicke und einer 0.8mm Düse druckt (und die Parameter etwas variiert um die besten Ergebnisse aus dem jeweiligen Drucker herauszuholen). PC Transparent ist auch nicht so schlecht bezüglich Durchsichtigkeit.
  5. Cura will offer you a 0.2mm profile for this combination so that might indeed be the best choice.
  6. Yes, that might be the key. I was btw. referring to the material selection on the printer but looked it up on a S5.
  7. The CFF matrials are the generic Carbon Fiber Filled materials. Look out for "Color on Demand Generic". It's probably called like this. Btw. Is there a special reason why you put the PVA into print core 1 and the main material into printcore 2? While it is possible and should theoretically give the same result, you probably get slightly better results the other way round as this is what people usually test materials profiles with.
  8. Did you perform a factory reset after the firmware update? This is what I would try first. It might be a variable not properly set up needing re-initialization.
  9. Die Glasplatte kann man im Prinzip auch auf der anderen Seite verwenden wenn der Abplatzer nicht zu grossflächig ist und damit den Wärmetransfer zu sehr blockiert. Ich persönlich würde den Warnsticker wegnehmen (und ordnungsgemäss auf die andere Seite kleben damit ich hier nicht zum Entfernen eines Warnhinweis auffordere) um den kleinen Spalt zwischen Glas- und Alu-Platte zu verhindern. Den UHU-Kleber kann man mit einem feuchten Lappen verschmieren damit alles gleichmässig benetzt ist und nicht etwa Stellen auftreten können wo das Filament doch direkt auf der Glasplatte aufliegt. CPE ist halt schon ziemlich das Filament was für die meisten Abplatzer sorgt.
  10. If you are still using Windows 7 you might have a bigger (security) issue than a crashing Cura. I would not expect any Ultimaker person to fix something on Cura that makes an EOL Windows version crash.
  11. In case you would find a way to install the "wrong" firmware (which is not so likely as Ultimaker certainly thought of users accidentally installing a wrong firmware) you probably would find the printer not working properly as the S3 has different electronics than the Ultimaker 3. In the worst case you might damage the printer. Does that answer your question?
  12. Wenn eine Spule fertig ist wird automatisch auf die nächste gleichartige Spule gewechselt. Es ist nicht auszuschliessen, dass es mal eine Funktion geben wird, wo ein Material z.B. in einer bestimmten Höhe gewechselt wird aber das liegt vermutlich wenn dann eher in fernerer Zukunft. Ein Hin- und Her-Wechseln zwischen z.B. verschiedenen Farben es kaum je geben. Der Sinn der Material Station ist nicht, Vielfarbendruck zu ermöglichen sondern die Produktivität des S5 Druckers zu maximieren indem Standzeiten wegen Spulenende vermieden werden.
  13. Es kann in Cura ausgewählt werden, welcher Materialtyp für die beiden Extruder verwendet werden soll. Für einen bestimmten Extruder muss das Material aber entsprechend in die Material Station eingelegt sein, d.h. beim Einlegen muss man immer entscheiden, ob dieses neue Material Extruder 1 oder 2 zu geführt werden soll (2 verschiedene Eingänge). Wenn man mehrere Spulen des gleichen Materials geladen hat, dann nimmt der Drucker diejenige Spule, welche zuerst eingelegt wurde. Gleiches Material bedeutet für Ultimaker Materialien gleiche Farbe; bei Drittanbietern gibt es keine Farbunterscheidung (sofern ein Materialhersteller nicht explizit Profile für verschiedene Farben zur Verfügung stellt).
  14. Question: What about showing the compatibility per plugin including all plugins that are compatible with newer Cura versions (maybe, those of the last half or full year; not only the latest)? Some users, especially in companies, might not upgrade every time a new Cura version comes out.
  15. I certainly cannot comment on all your findings as some would require to be a firmware dev. But this information here might help to understand why things are as they are atm. 1 - The printer is waiting for the heated bed to cool down. As soon as it is cold enough to touch you get the "confirm removal" button and can finish the process. The background here is a legal one: the machine has to be safe so removal should not be allowed if there is a risk to burn your fingers. Safety is part of professionalism - whether we like it or not in specific cases. You can speed it up on your own risk: Nobody and nothing prevents you from opening the doors, remove the hot plate and insert a cold glass plate. 2 - A change from e.g. black to white filament or vice versa requires quite an amount of priming to ensure the old color is not mixed into the new print. Current firmware plays it safe here. Maybe Ultimaker will enhance it one day so it takes such things into consideration and offers specific priming amount (down to almost zero if the same material as in the last print is loaded). 3 - The top bar represents the various steps in a wizard. The actual progress bar of a certain step is shown in the lower half of the screen. 4 - I don't know how long you waited - the progress bars have some non-linearity sometimes. It could also be a bug in the firmware. However, I would recommend to switch the printer off, wait maybe 30s and switch it on again and check it again. This procedure is what I do after the first-time start-up wizard completed and after firmware upgrades. A proper re-initialization is certainly not a bad thing. 5 - see 4 6 - That looks to me as if loading and unloading of the material are available. If it does not work, there is a (bit ugly) work-around. Go to the printcore menu of the printcore in question and unload it. This triggers the material unload routine. But the printer is not in a good firmware state after this; you should reboot it. 7 - Double recognition of NFC tags indeed happens sometimes. A good way to avoid / minimize the issue is to put Ultimaker spools in such a way into the bay that it is close to its left edge - for all spools! 8 - Press on bay B and it should give you more information about what's wrong, no? 9 - I would not be aware of a background firmware update while the printer is actually doing something. Maybe you started firmware update while there was still filament loaded (your point 6)? It might be a good strategy to first fix an error before upgrading the firmware. 10 - Comparing the S5 Pro Bundle with a 2+ might not be a fair thing to do. Sure, both are Ultimaker 3D printers. But they are pretty different in terms of features and automatization. It's an old truth that a larger number of features usually gives a larger number of potential issues. Btw. I'm also often an impatient person. 😉 11 - Yes, booting the Pro Bundle takes its time and as mentioned on top I'm not a developer so I cannot tell you what exactly the printer is doing and why it takes that amount of time. If you are interested in this you can dump the logs on an USB stick and have a look at the boot-up entries there. I hope the above helps you and others to get the best out of the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle as it presents itself at the moment.
  16. Reinstallation is probably not necessary. Simply re-loading the materials and a power cycle should be enough. Or even a print as you already found out.
  17. That is because the firmware of the Ultimaker 3, where the sensor would have to be implemented, is partially not open source.
  18. @molliske, @Szahari - I had that not-properly-primed effect various times in the past on multiple Ultimaker models after a firmware upgrade. Meanwhile I found a good work-around. I unload all materials before firmware upgrade, then upgrade it from the printer menu or task list. After the upgrade I restart the printer with the main switch leaving it off for something like half a minute.
  19. Fiberforce Italy has a conductive material that is PLA based. Be aware it is not as simple to print as standard PLA. http://www.fiberforce.it/products-pro/ This one is not abrasive but should be printed in a well ventilated environment.
  20. You maybe want to give some information about the material (PET-G?) and the temperature and other quality settings you used.
  21. The 5 binding orders were for testing the sensor at the start of the project. I refered to a small series production of something like 100-150 pcs.
  22. Apart from the S3 having filament sensors (so there is now a printer with smaller build size and filament sensor) it does not change anything for the previous models. The firmware of the Ultimaker 3 and the S-line remains partially closed (means only the Marlin part is available upon request). That said it is not possible to adapt the Ultimaker 3 firmware and publish it legally. Afaik that interest was never large enough to make a small series production worth to be ramped up. I would consider the project to be silently terminated.
  23. Make sure you insert Ultimaker spools close to the left edge of the Bay used. The likelihood of a wrong recognition can be significantly reduced like this to my personal experience. The reason is that NFC tags are well separated from the NFC sensor of the bay right from the used one; social distancing for spools so to say...
