Cura currently does not allow you to use the full printing volume of the UM3 for single extrusion prints. This is a bug/missing feature. The print volume is slightly smaller due to the print head being bigger and the machine being the same exterior size.
The camera allows for snapshots and steams. I didn't mention these in the "Inside the Ultimaker 3" series yet, because the API to access it isn't finalized yet.
(Until we have the proper API, you can access the feed with http://[ip]:8080/?action=stream and a single snapshot with http://[ip]:8080/?action=snapshot however, zero guarantee that this will keep working in the future)
Currently there is no functionality for timelaps captures yet.
Camera is a simple 800x600 camera, nothing fancy here.
The printer ships with 2 350g spools, but it is designed to be used with the normal 750g spools. As I understood, the main reason for the smaller spools is to keep the shipping packaging of the printer under a certain size. (But I could be wrong here)
I'm not 100% sure if the 2.3kg rolls that you can buy at certain locations fit for a 100%. But the people that want to use those rolls will manage.
The UM3 is not a hotspot. While this feature is implemented at a lower level, you cannot access it trough any interface right now. Only way to make it a hotspot is to enter the WiFi setup.
Problem here is for a hotspot, setting up your hotspot name and password.
For low level details on the API look at my "inside the Ultimaker 3" series. Day 2 and 3 go into the details. There is no "dashboard" on the printer yet. We did not want to delay the launch of this machine to make this. Maybe we could develop a dashboard community based? I'm pretty sure we have some web developers around here.
Printer runs on a newer version of the UM2 board, (still with the stupid Atmel) and a slightly modified Olimex A20 LIME2 board running our own custom image (thanks to Olimex for their support)
(And, I'm no longer working on Cura, I 100% concern myself with the Ultimaker 3 firmware)

Which CPU board is inside the UM3?. Is it a custom board?
Specifications...?
