Hello All,

just one question, to make sure that I've understood it correctly:

- If Ultimaker Filament Material is used, the printer and Cura software would be able to recognize the material.

I'm using the Ultimaker 3 Extended with original Ultimaker PLA Orange, but I have to teach the material in the printer and Cura.

Is there anything that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in Advance!

    Hi @Blomix-3D,

    welcome to the forums! In the reelholder of the Ultimaker 3 is an NFC scanner, and it should read the tag in the new Ultimaker filament reels. They are white, and you should be able to see the tag in a cardboard insert.

    Have you been able to read other materials, except PLA?

    Are you sure the cable is properly inserted, as instructed in the manual?

    Looking forward hearing from you :)

      • 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.
