Hi everyone,

 

I have been struggeling with 3d party material profiles for the S5 with material station for the past weeks.

One point I'm not quite certain about is the relationship between the material profile on the printer and the one in Cura.

 

 

I am wondering in particular about how the material settings are processed regarding the Z-offset?

Do offset settings in the printer and cura profile add up? Is only one used - if so which one and why would I need the printer side profile in the first place?

Do I have to create the initial profile without offset have Cura send it to the printer and then alter the setting afterwards? If that is the case shouldn't Cura update the printer side material?

 

Oh, I forgot:

Thank you very much for the z-offset Plugin fieldOfView!

 

Thanks for any hints

    The printer doesn't do anything with z-offset settings.

    The printer side profile is primarily for the switching temperature and the like (eg; if you switch between material A & B, to what temperature does it need to heat up and how does it need to do the insert / removal procedure). The rest of the behavior is defined by Cura.

      • 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.
