Unshare build plate temperature while printing with one material on dual extrusion machine

Posted · Unshare build plate temperature while printing with one material on dual extrusion machine

On our S5 printer we are now experimenting with printing ABS on one extruder.

The build plate temperature for this material is higher than that of PLA (85 instead of 60).

On the other extruder we are still using PLA. In cura the build plate temperature is set to the material that demands the highest (ABS in this case) for both printer profiles.

Due to this one of our pure PLA prints faild miserably due to warping.

Is there a way to make this setting switch according to the extruder settings of the objects that are placed in CURA (so that only when ABS is actually selected for the print, the build plate temperature is highered.)?

Or do you have any other tips for how to deal with this?

    Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately not what I was hoping for, do you know if there are plans to improve this?

    It's a rather fundamental issue I'm afraid. We haven't come up with a way to do it that doesn't also break some other things.

      • 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.
