Currently, if you have a raft, you don't get a skirt printed - skirt is disabled, and so the settings are ignored.
There are a couple of things that you can do to prime the head before the print starts. Firstly, as it nears the printing temperature, turn the extruder gear by hand, to force some plastic through the nozzle.
Secondly, you can change your start gcode to extrude more than the standard 3mm. I prefer to extrude 6mm, slowly, and then pause for a couple of seconds, so I can clean the nozzle. The end of my start gcode now looks like this:
G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length
G1 F60 E6 ;extrude 6mm of feed stock
M1 P2000 ;pause 2s
G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again
G1 F{travel_speed}

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.
