I'm using a Creality Ender 5 Plus with Cura 4.12.1  I'm new at 3D printers and Cura. 

I've been printing directly from a SD card and don't have a network connection to my printer.

 

Do I need to have my printer connected via my network to get the Start Simulation menu choice to show up?

    The good news is that the "simulation" in the preview tab has nothing to do with whether your printer is connected or not.

     

    The bad news is that if the horizontal slider and the "play" button are not there, your layer view is probably in "compatibility mode", which likely means that you are looking at a "watered down" version of layer view because your GPU (or the driver) does not support required functionality for the normal layer view.

Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

      • 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.
