@lbottan thanks for your post! I can not test this as I'm not working at this site anymore,
but as far as I remember there was a "-" and blank spaces in the SSID.
Therefore your solution might very well apply to my problem as well...

The engine does compute a print time so it could insert a value into the gcode without the help of the front end.
I just realized this too, thank you!

Just now, nallath said:
You don't have to set both extruders. This is only required if the print actually needs both extruders.
The print time is a required field, so that's probably the culprit.Right now, the engine isn't really designed to be run as a stand alone. Quite a bit of the business logic is still within the frontend. We're looking to change that, but it will probably take quite some time to do that.
Is the print time used for any other purpose than visualization and processing of used material? If not it could be just inserted afterwards with some random value...

Which browsers have you've tried? I remember that i had a similar problem back then with the UM3 and Firefox.
I made a try with Internet Explorer and it worked flawless and at the first time.I don't know, if it helps in your case, but a different browser can obviously make a difference.
I tried it with multiple browser, including IE with the same result....

Okay, I did a bit of testing and found out, that the issue is that the print time and both extruder trains have to be included.
The Cura GUI includes
Quote;PRINT.TIME:2650
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.0.INITIAL_TEMPERATURE:215
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.0.MATERIAL.VOLUME_USED:4355
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.0.MATERIAL.GUID:03f24266-0291-43c2-a6da-5211892a2699
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.0.NOZZLE.DIAMETER:0.4
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.0.NOZZLE.NAME:AA 0.4
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.1.INITIAL_TEMPERATURE:100
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.1.MATERIAL.VOLUME_USED:764
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.1.MATERIAL.GUID:fe15ed8a-33c3-4f57-a2a7-b4b78a38c3cb
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.1.NOZZLE.DIAMETER:0.4
;EXTRUDER_TRAIN.1.NOZZLE.NAME:BB 0.4As soon as i insert these line into the header of the gcode created by CuraEngine the S5 accepts the file.
So this raises two questions:
- How do I set BOTH Extruder Trains in CuraEngine (I don't really understand which setting has to be set in which xxx.def.json to configure it properly)
- How do I include the print time in CuraEngine?
Thanks for any help in advance!
-
@nallath I just tried it, but the S5 stillt says "Something is wrong with this file".
I'll attach the new gcode with set extruder name...
Any other ideas what the issue could be?

Hello guys,
I'm working on a project where we want to do automated slicing via command line with an Ultimaker S5.
As we are using an Ultimaker we decided to use CuraEngine for slicing.
I managed to get some basic slicing running, using the ultimaker_s5.def.json configuration file as well as the s5 extruder definitions.
When I try to print the created gcode (a simple calibration cube in this case), the S5 greys out the file and displays "Something is wrong with this file".
-> I will attach the not woking gcode (output.gcode) to this post, as well as the gcode I get out of Cura GUI (working_GUI.gcode).
Does anyone know what to do to get printable gcode for the S5 out of CuraEngine?
Any help would be VERY much appreciated!

@Smithy & @Shadowman: Thanks for tuning in here. I can reassure you that the SSID is not hidden for "security" reasons. We decided to hide it, because we have a lot of customers coming in here and we want to have as little of our infrastructure visible on first glance as possible. Therefore broadcasting the SSID to get the printer in is not an option (if this would help at all).
Still searching for a solution, can't believe that a printer in this price range has problems with basic stuff like this.

Thanks for your contribution @Dim3nsioneer, there is no MAC filter active on that WiFi.
-
@SandervG the issue is still not fixed. Any further suggestions?
-
@SandervG as the network SSID is hidden it's the only way I can do it. Do you still need a photo of the selection list?
-
@SandervG thanks for looking into this. I checked this and the particular SSID sends on 2.4 as well as on 5 GHz.
It requires WPA2 authentification.

Hi guys,
I hope somebody can help with this really annoying problem.
We're trying to hook up the UMS5 to our companys WiFi.
When we follow the WiFi Setup instructions (connect to hotspot, insert country and name, enter network information of hidden network),
the browser setup screen on the browser end up saying "setup complete, wait for UM to connect to WiFi network" but the UM never succeds to connect.
The setup screen stays at the "connect to your Ultimakers hotspot and follow the instructions in your browser"- screen. Never moves forward from there.
What we tried so far:
- restart UM (with Ethernet enabled/disabled, with USB-Stick and without USB stick)
- Setup from Laptop or Smartphone
- different browsers on laptop
The result was the same at every try.
Firmware Version is: the latest one (5.0.19.20180622).
Ethernet connection works and network information are correct, connection to the network with other devices works.
Glad for any help!
CuraEngine slicing for Ultimaker S5
in UltiMaker Cura

Hi @modernonline and @tkamsker
it has been a while since I was working on this and I cannot check that code anymore as I am not working on this site anymore.
As far as I remember, some things (maybe also the GUID of the material etc.) can be set in the configuration/definition files. I remember that I had to do some deep digging there to get this running for my use case, as all the files inherit from each other and some things have to be set in the root definition files and work only there.
@modernonline I think your proposed solution was exactly what I did back then. Do the slicing, take output and modify the gcode with it.
Hope this provides at least a little help, I remember that working with this was a real hassle because nothing was documented and it was a lot of trial and error...
