· Great solution for use of big spools (2.2 kg)
IMHO the spoolholder on the UM2+ is rather poor. Even some of the 1kg spools don't fit properly, the darn thing was squeaking and the filament ended up rubbing either against the spool or the feeder intake or both. With one type of spools (esun i think it was) the filament would get dragged off the spool and fall in the void between spool and the back wall.
I was not happy about all this.
Now, the big 2kg holder in frederiekpascals post was a bit overkill for me, but I ended up buying something similar to IRobertI's spool holder (Youmagine) ) at 3dprinterstore24.de and am very happy with it.
Bought it instead of printing IRobertIs mostly because I only have PLA and no bearings, rods, nuts or anything and the price seemed fair and I needed to order the UltiTop hood from them as well.

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
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.
