· Ultimaker3 firmware : let's make things beter ...
I gave it a little more thought, and I think I would like the material/core change part of the firmware to look like this;
Unload material;
(just unload, scenario; you want to take out nylon, or PVa to store it, but don't want to do another print now)
load material;
just load material, the correct core is already loaded.
change material;
only change material, you want to keep working with the already loaded core.
change core;
this is a bit more complicated. I see 2 options, the 2th is probably the best;
simple;
Always fully unload/change the material, assuming in 99% of the time you want to change material when you change a core (not true if you change from 0.4 to 0.6 f.e) -plus; no risk of reentering material with a string on it, you can cut it to a nice tip again.
After change core, ask question, do you want to load material Y/N.
less simple;
Start with a question, "do you want to fully unload material Y/N" and based on that do a "short retract" or fully unload of material.
After change core, ask question, do you want to load material Y/N.
Anyhow the "change core" part of the menu needs the option to at the same time change material.

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.
