Sorry, I have no ideas why that isn't working. What system is being used to write the USB stick? Is the USB stick being ejected correctly after the files have been copied to it?
smartavionics This is my 1st Ultimaker. I have 2 CubeX printers converted to Duet boards and only used S3D. I am using Windows 10 on a brand new Alienware desktop. I again have tried to save to USB in both formats (ufp and gcode) I ejected the stick and both files when plugged into the S5 show up with the warning "something wrong with the file" I'm going to uninstall and reinstall Cura 3.6. or should I try 3.5.1? S3D works fine.
UPDATE: Cura 3.5.1 works as expected. however I have loaded the rolls that came with the S5 Black Tough PLA and PVA. The file is asking for a configuration change to Black Tough PLA. I don't see that color option when I load the printer, it only has listed the type of filament not color???
I am now going to reinstall 3.6 and try again. Stay Tuned
I uninstalled and reinstalled 3.6 and it is working. what about this configuration message? did I miss something when I loaded the material? Can I chose a color on the printer
The printer should detect the UM ToughPLA spool itself when loading the material. You only have to confirm when the printer has detected the material.
Otherwise, if it could not be detected, due NFC is not working or the spool itself isn't registered (which I have with one spool) then choose ToughPLA and not PLA from the selection.
The message is just a warning, because you selected in Cura ToughPLA but at the printer you said just PLA, so the printer things you have to change the material to the right one.
Edited by SmithyThanks everybody for the help. I'm sure i'll need more as I test the S5/Cura
Off topic - I have 2 printers with Duet boards and they work great, don't they?

Make sure you eject the USB before removing it. Sometimes even though it looks like it's done copying it is still in progress for several seconds after it says it is done.
@smartavionics - any ideas? Before 3.6 had you been using 3.5.1 successfully? Please do "file" "save as project" and post the project file on this forum.
