Will Ultimaker eventually Digitally Sign this software? In my workplace we have protection software that does not allow unsigned exe files to run, which means every time a new release of cura is available i then have to contact It and get it put onto an allowed list.

You might want to use ironing on the top layers and maybe print the at a big layer height, less layers less gaps?

Still cant get this working i'm having bed level errors when trying to use an 0.8mm core in position one and 0.4 in position 2. All i want to do is be able to print from either core depending on the quality of print i am after. Just doesn't seem to be possible at the minute?

Yeah to fix the 2nd part of this issue i just need to right click the model and select the correct core

I have recently been trying my S5Pro with a 0.8mm nozzle the problem is the warning i get shown in the picture below and when i hover on the exclamation symbol i am shown this error, 'There are no profiles matching the configuration of this extruder'. Firstly what is odd about this, is that I can print perfectly well but obviously something isn't adding up for the software as it marked 'not supported on the right of the profile also. Secondly if I slice the body with the 0.8mm core/settings and decide, in fact I want to use the other core at 0.4mm instead, then disabling the right nozzle and enabling the left leaves me unable to slice with the following error. Cura version is 5.5

These settings work very well for me using ASA

Can this be made possible to allow viewing of printed parts in the app? I often start prints and have them finish while i am away but when they do finish the camera cant see them due to the build plate dropping to the bottom of the machine. Can we control the bed to view our finished parts?

Hi folks, i have tried every setting i can think of to stop this Z seam from being so far outside the model, what would you guys do? Material is ASA, current settings attached. ASA Fast 0.2 Sensata.curaprofile

Thanks i will try this in my next print! sounds like the answer!

is there any way i can stop the last move of the top layer ironing from traveling across already ironed areas, at present it is set to concentric and after finished it moves laterally to the machines rest position without lowering the build plate causing a nozzle shaped smudge in the cleaned layer.

I use polylite ASA pretty much exclusively on the S5, i have attached my working settings for you ASA Fast 0.2 Sensata.curaprofile

It shows me that, 'The given author does not exist' But this may be a regional issue as i am in the UK, hope it works for others.

I am trying to find out why some setting profiles work on my machine and some have odd features, its not easy to see this by clicking between one and the next to compare, so is there way to show a side by side comparison possibly with highlighted differences?

Thanks for your reply, i understand it would have be built for this in mind rather than just a camera. In thinking about this camera as more than a viewing feature it may also be useful to check if the build platform is empty before starting?

Hi i'd like to suggest a feature for the Ultimaker series that have cameras. I believe it could be possible for the printer to detect a failed print at any level with the use of the internal camera. We know where our models are placed and we know the cameras angle at each level, it should be a simple visual test that expects a geometry and agrees it exists, otherwise it can flag a failure. This would save a lot of wasted material on long prints with an early failure.

Hi, i have tried to install this version but i can't get it to run, i get the pictured error after install and the .exe file is not in the directory. ***Fixed, my problem was anti-virus software in my company***

I Operate an S5 Pro and create the print profiles to suit our products, i have up to 4 students who also work the machine but when i change something on the profile i have to mail them the new one to import. Is there any way these profiles can be directed to the software from the digital factory instead of living locally?

Hi I use polymaker material and their plug-in, the material i use is Grey, the profile has it stated as black on the material station selection and i cannot find a way of changing this?

In contrast to the above, i enjoy using the ultimaker S5 i have it in a work setting, controlled environment with the material station and the extractor hood. In its early days the firmware had some bugs but as far as i can tell its all been ironed out, i look after this machine with regular cleaning and oiling of the slides and screws. The only issues we have are not anything to be concerned about, the bed may need levelling 2 or three times a year and the fan on the extruder cleaned from fine debris. I had been in control of other machines purchased before my time and they were terrible to use, material was single source and the software was horrible. Ultimaker seems to be very user friendly and driven. I would say go for it our machine is used every day we print ASA from polymaker and use dimafiix adhesive on the bed, it never misses a beat.

I also had a fan issue which ended up being very fine strings of material caught in the inner bearing of the fan, i had to remove the fan which is quite difficult and you risk breaking some solder joints, its easily repaired though with a soldering iron. I removed all the material of which there was A LOT compared to what i could previously see. Everything's been working fine for months after this.

I'm trying to dial in my prints for fitment purposes, i have found that the axis returns print at the following Ultimaker OD's: X+0.05 Y+0.08 Z0.00 Ultimaker Holes: X-0.05 Y-0.07 Z0.00 Looking at this i imagine i can fix this by changing settings relating to the outer and inner walls?

My issue was fixed by re setting the lift switch, not sure how but it seemed to have lost its calibration or it drifted? All good now!

Since moving away from PVA and using breakaway i have not had this issue.

As of today i am also having this issue when printing with the 2nd core as my support both AA, I have levelled and changed both nozzles. I will try the stable firmware instead of the 7.1.3 we are currently using of the 'latest'.

I had a similar issue where my core cooling fan was not spinning, i removed it from the head and used a pair of tweezers to pull out a huge amount of thin strings of material which were stopping it operating. The fan not turning caused material to melt right up the core to the bowden tube and it was unable to push it through. Cleaning the fan fixed it, be careful though the solder joints on the fan are delicate.
