Congratulations! Welcome to Ultimaker 🙂
If you have any questions about using materials, feel free to ask us! We've dedicated a special area on our forum to materials: https://community.ultimaker.com/forum/111-materials
A complete overview of all available materials can be found here: https://marketplace.ultimaker.com/app/cura/materials
Keep an eye on here, because new materials are added frequently. As you can see, Polymaker is one of the brands that we have material profiles for in the Ultimaker marketplace.
@SandervG I sent you a PM, I am hoping that you can route my info to the right person and help me.
Thank you

Pull, i know between my hip and hand is 1mtr. for extensive lengths, + 10mtr, i use my Polymaker drybox.
oh wow cool !
does the polymaker fillament work in the S5?
guys, Would installing CURA and going to the "store" be the best way to learn what is supported by the printer in terms of filament brands and settings

Easy, i just unroll the amount Cura tells me to use, plus an extra Mtr that goes into the bowden tube. And if you miss, the printer detects your out of filament so the print isn't ruined.
I thought you had some rig to measure what you pull.. do you?

Well I just ordered my first ultimaker + hood.
Did not order the material handler for now.
I am really excited!!
Looking forward to learn more about using other materials.

Bob,
I use my S5 now about a year, and learned to live with the critical moisture sensitive materials without the material changer.
First, the S series have filament sensors, secondly Cura is a very good slicer (I was addicited to Simplify, but that simply does not work with S series, you lose all the benefits), which gives you the exact length of filament needed.
So what i do mostly, open the bag with moisture critic filament (PVA / Nylon ...), cut the needed length + 1mtr (for the tubing), and feed that into the printer. Easy peasy, no need for this expensive adon. (although it has its advantages)
Im ordering my S5 and while I want the material handler, it is not in my future at the moment. However, can you tell me how you measure you PVA? Doe cura tell you thing accurately?
Thanks

Hi @BiMNrd, thanks for chipping in! What type of accuracy do you need for your 3D prints?
I am looking model an object or part based on a 3d scan and have the 3d printed part fit or work. I would probably want +/- 0.01 or 1/64" at best or 1/32" at absolute worst.
I also want to make certain the supports when removed leave a " nice smooth" surface. I am comparing and or setting my expectations based on tiertimes up mini es abs printer.

Well my S5 is not that accurate. I was looking at the Method yestrday and considering the price of a S5 PRO bundle I would go with Method instead.
Can you define "not that accurate"

As for the S5, i don't need the material handling box, i have used to live with the limitations, i have 3 dryboxes, and the end of roll sensor of the S5 works very good.
How accurate are parts printed in the s5 dimensionally? I cant seem to find this in any of the specs, but I know is one of makerbot propositions on their method printers.

Same feeling here. Next friday i go and see a demo of the formlabs 3, also the Zortrax Inkspire draws my attention.
I have had the formlabs.. the issue is that those parts arent end use parts and the build volume is tiny.
Im am going to jump into the s5 and get the material handling unit down the line. I need the larger build volume.
Do any of you own an s5 already?
-
yikes it looks like $10K US. I think am going to get the 5S for now, and save for the top enclosure in the future.
So is the S3 just a smaller S5?
I am really looking for something with a bigger build volume to the small printer I have. I wonder if the two new attachments would work on the S3

Their announcement is probably USA time...?

The part that is confusing to me is the statement continuous printing.. wouldn't you need some automated way to remove the printed object?
-
Wow @cloakfiend lol, those detective skills are on point. One more day !!!

Hello everyone, up to recently I have considering a Makerbot method 3d printer. I have known about Ultimaker for some times but never really realized how sophisticated they seem to be. I guess if ford is using them.. they cant be that bad. Lol
I like that you can replace the nozzles easily on the Ultimaker and use engineering materials.
With a this said, how does a 5S or 3S compare to the Method?
Things that are important to me are dimesional accuracy and a smooth or consistent surface.
Thank you.

sound like the S5 is just not working for you...
