Could you inform me on the specs you would put in Cura when adding another 3D printer, specifically the M3D (Micro 3D). I am confused on this topic because when I am adding another printer profile to Cura, I need to put the build area dimensions for the 3D printer. But, the M3D can keep printing above the actual frame of the printer, and that build area has different dimensions. To see what I am talking about, go here ( https://printm3d.com/themicro/#specifications ), then scroll down and click "tech specs". After that go to "Print area above" and click the "i". After that, it will show you a diagram of the printer's build area. I am having trouble on what I should put in the build area dimensions when adding another printer profile in Cura, since there are two different build areas all together. Thanks for helping (if you help) ! :)

    The building area (according to cura) is the area where your printer can deposit material (hence; building area, as this is the area it can build in)

    They state it a bit weird. Confuses me somewhat what they mean by it.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
