Posted · change of the plate for ultimaker s5

Hi,

we bought Ultimaker s5 and while switching it on and installing for the first time it asked for the build plate material. As we wanted to print on glass, we chose the glass build plate. Now we would like to switch for aluminium, unfortunatelly we are not able to find how to change the buildplate in settings. Could anyone please help?

 

Thanks

Zuzana

    Hi

    the aluminum plate is not available, because it was not reliable enough to sell it. So I guess you bought the printer with a firmware version where it was planned to bring the aluminum plate, but then the decision was to not bring it at all and the option was removed to change the build plate type with a newer firmware update.

      • 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.
