Check the settings in Cura, if you're using 15.x in the advance tab check to see that the infill speed is NOT set significantly higher than your standard print speed. The faster speed at the normal temperature can cause underextrusion.
Cura had the default infill speed at 85 for some reason for the longest time so printing at 210C on large parts will cause problems.
Also if you want alternating layers for infill, set your infill to 25% or higher and you will get alternating parallel lines that are 2x as tight instead of squares.
Alternatively, downloading the new CURA 2.1.x, you can choose the method of infill.
Also, great to see an UMO. your acrylic board is superbly clean for being 5yrs old.
Ultimaker + Cura. I don't think it gets any easier than this. I've tried using a Leapfrog and its slicing software, and it takes FOREVER, if it finishes at all! The printer, however, seems reliable enough. One day I'll try to figure out how to get Cura to talk to it.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.

Thanks! I'll try that next print.
