Hello, and welcome to the community...

A must have, I think, is the Ulticontroller.

It allows lots of freedom when it comes to tweak printing speed and temperature.

    The UltiController and dual-extrusion are the only upgrades not included in the default kit. I only recommend the UltiController, this really helps a lot. Dual-extrusion is more for the experienced user.

    I would +1 that......

    The ability of just being able to place your work on an SD card and plonking it into the Ulticontroller justifies it. (ie severing the usb link and not having to keep your pc running during prints)

      • 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.
