    The Ultimaker filament is good to high quality (disclaimer, I work at UM, so I see a lot of this filament)

    For my personal use I use filament from Faberdashery, it's more expensive, but the quality is high to awesome.

    same here..

    Problem solved like this:

    not buying from the scource again... (emailed them about the incorrect tolerances)

    Installed a ID 4mm OD 6mm PVA Bowden tube as a second extruding setup.

    Now i can swap the nozzle between my two bowden tubes... Of course you have to swap on the feeder side too.

    Later im going to add a second nozzle if helping software changes are in sight.

      • 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.
