Thanks. That makes sense. I need to know how to load the material profile to the materials station.
I'm not sure as I don't have one but from what I've read, there's no way to do this directly - you have to "print" a job with the material or something like that? Not sure. @Smithy has one I think? @Dim3nsioneer should know this as well. Do you use DF (digital factory)? Or do you print directly to the local IP address of your S5? I think either of those will send the material over.
A final choice might be to just select a generic material like Nylon and when the printer complains that you have the wrong material loaded just override that? I'm not sure - that works without the MS but not sure if that works with the MS.
Sorry I have no material station and I don't know the answer.

Your Cura installation and the printer must have a direct network connection, so the firewall has to be disabled. Then Cura sends materials unknown by the printer to the printer at startup of Cura.

Currently only Ultimaker filaments have the RFID that allows the MS to automatically detect filament type. But don't worry - just put it in and you can tell the MS that it's novamid manually. There should be many filament types that you can scroll through and choose manually. If Novamid isn't on the list yet there is a way to sync up the materials that you added in cura to be known to your S5 pro bundle. I'm not sure exactly how to do that but I think if you tell the printer to print this part over the network it will also transmit the new filament type and then it should complain that it doesn't see the right kind of material and hopefully you can choose Novamid at that point.
