Hello everyone!

My boss told me to serch the web for the best 3D printer(compared repraps :? , makerbot and ultimaker) for our company and here we are :)

Everyone in the office is so excited and looking forward for our prototyper :mrgreen:

It would be great if someone out there could help us with some informations about getting started with the ultimaker!

we ordered a full assembled kit, some spare parts and the netfabb engine software for the ultimaker today...(and some kg's of pla and abs)

So... Is there already a topic or post about getting starting with calibration, which firmware we should choose and such things?

with kind regards

karl

    I would recommend starting out with Cura:

    http://software.ultimaker.com/

    It's our free software option, and it will help you initially setup the machine with proper firmware. It will also do some check ups, and help you level the printer bed. It's also easy to do your first prints from there. Netfabb is more powerful but also harder to use because of it.

Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

      • 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.
