I'm trying to connect my printer to digital factory and its shows that its connected but I cannot access it. I have another printer on my network that connects fine to digital factory, but this new one isn't. I've reset the printer, re-flashed the printer, it prints just fine on the network and can print it over wifi. When I go through the process of adding it to digital factory, it doesn't show the name that I provided for it through the wifi setup, says its offline, and if I leave the page, I cannot see it anymore. I print remotely for my work, and need a way to monitor it remotely.

Can't get it to run after install. Not sure what's going on. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple times and still doesn't work. Also, I prefer the old icon. Looks more modern. The new one looks like it went to windows 95.

Youmagine isn't working right now. is there an alternative?

I wanted to get the community's option on something. The glass bed, by itself, makes the bottom of the print shiny, Its a bit difficult to get it to stay uniformly on the bed so I add glue stick. The one thing though is if its not even, it leaves the texture on the bottom or can leave a mix of shiny and matte, looking like grease. What would you say is the best way to get either a uniform matte layer or to get the bottom layer look like the top layer of a flat print? do the adhesive sheets help with that? A different print bed? Hair spray? What do you think works best?

Awesome! Thanks!

Does it matter which S5 extruders you use? Cause there's R``1 and R2 versions.

Do we have to change the printing profiles to get this or does it do it automatically (the horizontal quality)?

Supposedly, Meshmixer does something like this.

Seen a lot of hype around the Multi Material Painting for Prusaslicer, and was wondering if there is something in development for Cura? Seems like the majority of these add-ons are provided via plugin, but haven't seen anything of its kind yet. Has anyone tried taking the file from Prusaslicer and placing it into Cura? Or Paint on support? Also, it would be nice if the gcode editor was integrated fully into Cura so that the changes in gcode are shown in the layer timeline too. Or, i guess it doesn't.

Yeah I don't see the abort button anymore. I'm running a print job and the filament is caught on itself and not extruding plastic.

Found out what was wrong. If I select disable extruder for extruder 1, and then try to select another printer, it crashes.

I think there is the R1 and R2 of the S5.

I use the material manager across my 3D Printers. I do much of the same thing for my printers that have the same filament diameter. I would make an average for the materials across machines or the mode (what's most consistent) and just select the material. I usually start with generic or one that has the same brand. Think its easier that way and any tweaks you make to the individual printer settings.

I did a bed leveling print for my Ultimaker original and seeing that the infill doesn't meet the sides and leaves a bit of space usually on one side. My suspicion is that the steps are off on maybe the x or y. Hoping someone can help me diagnose it before I make it worse changing the e-steps for one of the axis.

Got a hold of their sales department. Says there are two versions. Is there much of a difference between them, or one that would be best for this project?

It would be nice if it were easy enough to just get the pcb and maybe find the other parts somewhere else for cheaper, even if printing some of the parts. Is there another place that sells these parts in the USA?

Found the board for the flow sensor. But, doesn't it need the wheel? Ultimaker Filament Flow Sensor PCB Right S5 (igo3d.com)

I had an issue with 4.10 and 4.11, where when I select a different printer, it crashes.

Not sure if there would be a way to implement this, but it would be great for projects that I have (and is it different when the filament runs out?) I think it would help reduce waste and save money, especially if notifications with errors were integrated with the app. But, I have a bunch of filament that have some material leftover, but not enough for some projects. Honestly, I feel like the app, now that there is digital library, has a lot more potential and could be integrated more with the cloud.

Awesome!! I'm excited to hear the article. Just a question? Does the UM3 or S5 printers send a notification and pause the print when it has a filament error, like in the app or digital factory?

Thanks! Where did you quote this from? I would love to hear more on the topic and the possibility of implementing or making one. Maybe making a mod for the Ultimaker 3 feeder to be like the newer one. But, purchasing the feeder seems easier if we can get the updates needed.

Found this: Ultimaker Feeder Left Assembly S3/S5 (igo3d.com) Ultimaker Feeder Right Assembly S5 (igo3d.com) Not in the US, but maybe a possibility for the UM3. I'm still interested in a flow sensor and it seems like enough time has passed that we should know something more.

I tried it with golden silk filament. You can change the filament type to 1.75mm and adjust some of the settings. It worked well for the most part, but there were times that there were underextrusions. The filament may of been bad, but the surface quality came out nice. BTW I tried it on the UM3 without any modification, except in Cura.

Not completely sure about the current firmware updates for the orginals, as a few of mine have custom updates. But, I was wondering if anyone has tinkered or seen the example configurations on the marlin github (Configurations/config/examples/Ultimaker at import-2.0.x · MarlinFirmware/Configurations · GitHub). There use to be a way to just update the whole thing to Marlin 2.0 without doing another configure file. I know that there is the custom firmware builder, but I'm not sure if its been updated to Marlin 2.0 and includes the advanced features available. Looking on the github it says that the changes were five years ago, which doesn't make sense since there was an error that was just updated the beginning of this year. Anyways, just wanted to know if the update has improved the printer, its safety, and if the added features help.

Did you have to unwind the wire? I think mine might not have enough strain. Would you suggest crimping instead of tinning the ends of the wire for better support? and does anyone know where to just purchase the wires? Like this: Ultimaker Capacitive Sensor Cable UM3/S5 (igo3d.com) in the USA
