The Ultimaker 2 introduced the concept of UltiGCode. The idea of UltiGCode was that you could slice once, and print with different materials which you select on the printer. By default, Cura uses this UltiGCode for the Ultimaker 2, so all material settings such as temperatures are not shown inside Cura because selecting them would conflict with what you select on the printer.
By the time the Ultimaker 2+ came around, Ultimaker had come to the realisation that very different materials really need very different slicing parameters. Not only the speeds you mention, but also eg the use of a raft for some materials. This was no longer something that the printer could fix on the fly, so materials in Cura were reintroduced for the Ultimaker 2+.
Go to the Printers pane of the preferences, and open the Machine Settings window. Once there, change the G-code Flavor to "Reprap (Marlin/Sprinter)". This should instantly give you materials, temperatures, etc (as well as support for printing with USB). Just know that these settings will override what you select on the printer.
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.
