I am curious, why do you say USB printing is not recommended with the UM2?

I have found USB printing quite convenient for doing small prints or quick test prints. I have encountered no problems so far in probably over 50h of USB printing using simplify3D (I have not tried Cura yet). Much, much quicker than swapping SD cards after changing only one parameter.

As far as I know the only problem is if your computer/software crashes mid-print. But people use octoprint/octopi which is a dedicated Raspberry Pi to do printing via USB and UM2.

    From what i know, USB printing with large gcodes can cause some errors due to the high transfer load over USB which it can't handle.

    I guess that for smaller prints it's ok.

    Now don't get me wrong, it works but it's safer to use the SD Card

      • 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.
