There are a lot of good tools for the GUID - I use this one https://www.guidgenerator.com/online-guid-generator.aspx

Hi all, I can confirm that the procedure robinmdh describes really works! Just great! Saves lot of time! How I did it - created a material in Cura (used generic PLA as base), modified the settings to match Colorfabb Special Copper - Renamed accordingly - exported it to desktop - Obs! Deleted the material from Cura - modified the xml with new GUID - imported it to Cura - and after 1 min - VOILA , its available on UM 5S thank you robin for sharing this tip!

Hi Sassw, can you possibly share the xml structure and process order to do this? I have all night tried to do this with no success. bedt regards hakan

Ok, now I understand. - thank you, will try it out as soon as I come home. I will just call the post material API via the browser. The purpose of doing this is that I use the UM material station - all works fine with NFC tagged filaments but I use a lot of 3rd party filaments like Colorfabb. If you have many “generic pla:s” the Cura/UM does not know which to choose. One update proposal to Cura would be ability to choose from what bay to load the filament - not only the type of filament.

OK, sorry my mistake. So I did like this - safari/hakanfa, confirmed in UM S5. So far so good. But when trying the "post material" I still get the Authorization required message. Should I put the user info in the XML file somehow? Thank you very much for swift replies!

Hmm, yes I tried that. with ultimaker/ultimaker -> no luck.

Hi, I need to add new material to the UM S5 - as I have understood this can be done via this UM API. Can anyone show me in more detail how this can be done. My first attempt was to create a XML file as below. (Observe, I need to add this to the UM S5, I know how to use Cura - will not serve my needs) <?xml version='1.0' encoding='cp1252'?> <fdmmaterial xmlns="http://www.ultimaker.com/material"> <metadata> <name> <brand>Colorfabb</brand> <material>PLA</material> <color>Copper</color> <label>Colorfabb Copper</label> </name> <version>1</version> <GUID>eaf3d290-843f-4955-8fbd-5431073071e7</GUID> <description /> <adhesion_info /> <color_code>#B87333</color_code> </metadata> <properties> <diameter>2.85</diameter> <density>3.90</density> </properties> <settings> <setting key="print temperature">210.0</setting> <setting key="retraction speed">40.0</setting> <setting key="retraction amount">1.0</setting> <setting key="standby temperature">175</setting> <setting key="heated bed temperature">60.0</setting> </settings> </fdmmaterial> When I try to upload this file I get : { "message": "Authorization required." } What should I do differently?
