[Ultimaker S5 | impressions & opinions]

Been running via ethernet now for over a day none stop with no problems at all, so its defo the wifi side of things, loving the printer so far its much more quieter than my Flashforge Inventor & Dreamer machines.

I have not a S5 but an UM3 and had similar issues. I have to reset Cura Connect every few prints, to have the correct status in Cura Connect WebGui. Normally not really important, but if it hangs and you have to abort a print remotely than it is not working, because Cura Connect thinks it is actually not printing. This is a known bug and as far as I know, it will be fixed first for the S5 and then for the UM3 later.

 

I also had some issues with wifi connection, sometimes the video stream was not working or was hanging every few seconds - very annoying and it was not due my wifi coverage. I finally connected the printer to LAN cable and since then I had no more interruptions or hanging video streams. So maybe it's worth a try if you have the possibility. 

Yep i have plugged the ethernet into mine now also now to see if it stops the drop outs.

I got my first Ultimaker today the S5 and the wifi drops out now and then for me and then about half way into the print its totally gone and cura and the app can not find the printer, the printer itself still says it's connected. Even typing the ip in direct it does not load the web interface.
