Hi all! while the material station is great, the S5 firmware 5.4.27.20191212 is seriously flawed to not allow selection of the color for a 3rd party material that doesnt have the NFC based color info. Not even the official partner material that is available on Ultimaker marketplace like FormFutura ApolloX can be used out-of-the box with material-station due to this lack of color selection problem. The Problem: firmware does not show color variants of materials, despite providing a unique GUID <name> <brand>FormFutura</brand> <material>ApolloX</material> <color>black</color> <label>ApolloX BLACK</label> </name> <GUID>c99377f5-fbb4-4c3b-8f91-7a1d2c32e44f</GUID> <name> <brand>FormFutura</brand> <material>ApolloX</material> <color>red</color> <label>ApolloX RED</label> </name> <GUID>1403a419-2a22-4d6c-ad80-3ea3252d2496</GUID> so the above leads in the S5 printer display to only showing one line of "ApolloX black" and the red AppolloX cannot be selected. But selection is mandatory to allow assigning same materials with different colors to different bays of the material station. The Workaround: postfix material with color information <name> <brand>FormFutura</brand> <material>ApolloX BLACK</material> <color>black</color> <label>ApolloX BLACK</label> </name> <GUID>c99377f5-fbb4-4c3b-8f91-7a1d2c32e44f</GUID> <name> <brand>FormFutura</brand> <material>ApolloX RED</material> <color>red</color> <label>ApolloX RED</label> </name> <GUID>1403a419-2a22-4d6c-ad80-3ea3252d2496</GUID> while this this workaround at least allows to use the material-station with by hand edited materials (curas 4.4.1 duplicate function leaves a mess, truncates data, ...) it provides suboptimal material management. But this reveals another annoying item, that the color is not shown duplicated!! The Request: display color variants for same material types with unique guids so if for multiple materials <material> is the same, but <color> and <guid> are unique, then display the color variants in the S5 display so it can be assigned to the material stations bay. Thanks, FG p.s. i have my material profiles up here https://github.com/flyinggorilla/ultimaker-s5

The material is new, the feeder is not too tight from what I can tell. It did fine for the first half of the roll, but it seems now that the material is snapping when the feeder forces it more strait because the material on the spool has a smaller radius as the spool gets lower and lower? I keep my spools in a sub 15% humidity room, but the room is also my print room and so it gets hot, between 95 and 100F normally. I dont generally have a spool for more than a month. The BASF PAHT CF15 that is giving me issues I have had for less than 2 weeks. again, it did about half the roll with no issues. I have tried to put the roll in my material dryer for 24hrs and no change I can notice, so I don't think it is moisture. I got a brand new roll in yesterday, just to be sure it responds the same...I expect it will do fine the first half then start breaking also? Any ideas?

Hi everyone, we have spent the last few years getting a mass production ready material to market. Now we are live on the Ultimaker marketplace! We will be publishing some really creative uses of our material and would like to see what others create with it. Our first nano diamond filament, Ultra Diamond, is half the price of Carbon nylon but easier to print, doesn't wear your nozzle, and has some very high thermal conductivity and wear resistance. Stay tuned for more info! www.tiamet3d.com

Hi Sanderv, How are you?? I am very much new to this community, this is my first post. 🙂 I'd like to know if Ultimaker has any plans for the future to build printers that can print continuous fibers ??

Hi, I just received the new XSTRAND GF30 PA6 filament and the CC print core. I did a test print with official parameters, no modification at all and this is the result. It seems there are stringing problems especially with the support. Any idea on how to fix it? (P.S: I printed it using a Polybox with the filament at 22% humidity)
