Nope, I keep asking and asking (it's been literally a few years now) last I heard was that a version might make it into a 8.1.x but not heard anything.
@robinmdh any news you could share ?
Many thanks

The resistance against this is gone though, so maybe we can add a stats for nerds type page to the print progress SwipeView in 8.1.x maybe. 8.0.x is closed for new features. -

Its not worth it. It doesnt even have a carbon filter in it to take care of VOCs. If I were you Id just buy a decent air purifier for half the price and call it a day. I have the air manager on my S5 but I still use an air purifier.
thx, i have a air purifier in the room and open the window etc when printing anything nasty. It feels like a blatant money grab based on the makeup of the air manager itself. Unless there is some sort of gold leaf inside to make it work 🙂
-
I am trying to comprehend why the S5 air manager is nearly £900 here in the UK, i can't possibly see how the cost is justified, does anyone with one feel it justifies the cost ?, what could it possibly do to be that expensive.
It appears to be a fan extractor system in a case, the fan is controlled by the printer, but other than that...... ?
Shame the price is so high as i like the concept
-
I just had filament snap on the spool and the filament sensor did not detect the break, the print just continued without filament extruding. The sensor setting is enabled in settings.
Is there a way to check the sensors are working ?, i would have assumed that by enabling the sensor as soon as you load filament the printer should be checking for movement on the sensor and have its own self test ?, cannot understand how the print can run (assuming checking the sensor for output), then not respond when the filament snaps ?
thx
***update, the break was within the first 3 layers so the sensor does not work until after layer 3 (in case anyone else sees the same behaviour) ** this is not a bug ***
-
yep totally agree, the term stats for nerds came from someone from UM i was trying to convince to add it, in fairness i think the tech guys can add it tomorrow but product management have to approve (is my read)

one of many threads where i am chasing to get the basics added 😞

I have been asking for literally years to get the most basics added to even a separate stats for geeks type screen, layer number, some temperatures etc, I am baffled why this cannot be done. I keep being told it's 'potentially' being looked at.
How can you diagnose issues with you don't even know the layer number 🤷🏻♂️
-
if you are running a UM machine this solution does odd things with the LEDs, they start pulsing like the machine is paused. There have been multiple requests into UM to add this option officially to the firmware.......
-
-
indeed, a AA06 seems like the most obvious and needed option. That's a very confusing gap in the nozzles available, seems little point in having the Aracna engine and all its clever calculations to run bigger nozzles and you cannot buy a bigger nozzle for PLA !!
-
i will switch to the stable channel to get the LEDs back working
-
Cura is saying the CC 0.6 is not compatible with PETG, this seems very odd, UM developed the Aracna Engine to use bigger nozzles but don't provide a 0.6 which works with PETG ?, is there any reason why the CC does not work with PETG but the AA does ?
-
I have just realised my S5 print cores are years old !, quality seems ok, but guess i don't have a new nozzle to compare against. I have a CC for abrasives so the AA's are only used on PLA but are many (5) years old. I am a hobbyist so its not running 24/7, but the 0.4 will have run huge amounts of PLA through in that time.
How often do people replace cores ?, are the UM AA cores harder than normal and hence wear less or just normal brass ?
-
Could we get an update - if this is expected behaviour or a bug ?, If so why does the print head only light up green and the second not light up at all. Also why is she head parked on the right now ??
-
yes, i cannot follow what this new firmware is doing, the lights are now just green, the second extruder has no lights even when its hot from the bed probing. The head parks on the right now after loading material, but on the left overwise.
Doesn't seem like these are intended changes ??
-
Hi,
Thanks for the info, yes, i was aware, however it's all about having it on the printer screen for quick and easy reference, same with layer number, i don't want to keep a PC tied to the printer for monitoring, we just need what all other printers have on the user screen 🙂
really surprised it is not present, cannot understand why its not deemed useful for anyone using it ?
Thanks again, really hoping this is added as a extra optional screen !
Thx

Hey @Link,
Unfortunately, we are not in charge of prioritizing things getting picked up.
But... we can help make your case to the people in charge.
Please see below, I really cannot understand why this is not just avalible by default as all other printers have it.
Thanks for your help !
2 hours ago, MariMakes said:Can you help us understand the following:
1. Can you describe a clear and concise description of what is solved by showing the layer height on screen?At present there is no way to track print progress, you cannot even see which layer is being printed and hence correlate that back to any details in Cura. For example, you cannot trace back any imperfections in the print at certain layers, you cannot manually pause the print at a certain layer etc etc. There is no way to see temperatures, fan speeds etc in real time without having to go into the tune menu one at a time, again to diagnose any issues or changes in real time you cannot simply see the temperatures, speeds, fan speed and correlate that back to the print. (i am not sure why ever other manufacturer - including makerbot, see this type of information as useful but UM does not ?)
2. Can you give a clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered? If possible, think about why these alternatives are not working out.there is not way to see the layer number on the printer !, short of manually counting each time the layer changes ;). The tune menu can be used to see temperatures, but only one at a time and there is no summary screen to be able to track changes in one quick and permanent view.
3. Can you describe who you think will benefit from this? Is everyone going to benefit from these changes? Or specific kinds of users?Everyone can benefit, if they don't find the information useful there is no compromise, these settings can be on a separate screen which can be swiped to access the same as the picture of the model or the remaining time. It would even help tech support diagnose issues as the users can report layer numbers, temperatures etc at the point an issues occurs. There really is no downside (Hence why all other printers have this feature)
-
@robinmdh any news on being able to see things like layer numbers etc ?, this will be super useful !
thx

@robinmdh don't suppose version 8 will include the much requested info screen in the UI which will show layer number, temperatures etc etc all at once so advanced users can see what is going on in realtime ?, i know it has been much discussed and you had looked at it at one point ?
thx

Yes, we saw this as well and have already fixed it, so it will definitely be fixed in a future software release. Since it doesn't actuality block use (it just super inconvenient) we decided it wasn't critical, so it did not block the 7.1.3 release at the time.
It will definitely be fixed by version 8.0.0 which is pretty much done, but I don't exactly know when that version will be released.
Thanks for the bug report @Link !No worries, as you say everything works, just cant see the numbers

I have been exclusively using UM printers for 8 or so years, (2, 2+, S5), over the last few years the lack of innovation was starting to grind along with the sustained price gap between them and everything else. Paying £350 for a hardened print core is crazy but something i just tolerated.
Anyway, i finally gave in and ordered a Bambu X1C to see what the hype was about, to say they have moved the game on is a understatement.
It's release is comparable to when apple released the iPhone onto the mobile industry. Forget the crazy speed for a second as i am a hobbyist and speed was always secondary for me over quality - the actual print quality this thing can achieve is next level, zero layer inconsistencies, much better seam hiding, perfect first layers, 1.75mm filament etc etc, prints look better on this at 0.2mm than i could get at 0.1 on the S5. Add to which the mobile app, the UI on the printer, flex plates. I wont even talk about how good the multi-material solution is and costs the same as 1 hardened print core for the S5 !. The one area the X1C misses out on is the build volume is slightly smaller but i can live with that.
This isn't about rubbishing UM, i was a loyal customer for years and piled money into the solution, more a sad farewell as i sold my S5. Maybe UM will pivot, innovate on their solution and align better on pricing..... - i hope so as they led the way for a time and i was really happy with my S5 overall.
