the second print core labled "BB" is only to be used with PVA. If you want to print ABS you need to use an "AA" print core. You can either remove the PLA filament from the AA print core or swap the second BB print core with the third print core you have (AA).
The cube you see at the back of the print is the "prime tower". This is used for dual extrusion prints (like PLA/PVA or PLA/PLA or ABS/ABS) so the nozzles are filled properly with filament when they switch during a print.
I'd suggest to stick to the default profiles in Cura 2.5 for now. PVA is not easy to print with, but if you activate the prime tower, you should be fine:
Make sure that you select the correct materials in Cura when you prepare the object.
And check the manuals for ABS and the Ultimaker 3:
Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
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.
