I've read a few articles about this, but I haven't found anything definitive yet, so thought I would ask here.

 

I'm setting up this new (to me, but well used) UM3X.  I have a UM3 and am used to the blue (teal?) ring colour around it.  I do see green during software updates and my recent un-bricking trip when the load worked, but otherwise, it's more blue than green.

 

I have the UM3X cleaned up and powered it up for the first time last evening.  the ring is a bright green, the same colour as I had from the UM3 at software update.  I am not seeing the same teal colour during the same phases as I am on the UM3.

 

I would like to know if there is a guide or legend anywhere to help me understand the UM3 'mood ring' better.

 

Thanks!

    Hi John

     

    as far as I know there no meaning in the color and to be honest I have never seen a different color during updating.

    But I have 3 printers with this control knob and every printer has its "own" color between blue, tail and green.

     

    So don't worry about the difference, it is more or less normal and has no special meaning.

      • 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.
