Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
MariMakes posted a topic in Official news,
The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
So what’s new?
The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more
Curious to see the S7 in action?
We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

Cura 5.3 Alpha With New Tree Support 🎄
MariMakes posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,
Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.-

Technically it's none of those. Ultimaker got a slightly customized one with some connectors removed and a USB connector swapped with a different type of connector.
Someone at Ultimaker told me the board is basically this one: UM3 / S5: A20-OLinuXIno-LIME2-n8G for €48 (aka olimex lime2 with these features). I'm not 100% sure that's all correct if you go to olimex.com they explain the numbers. A20 and lime2 are definitely correct. 8G is the overall memory and that's enough. n is for nand memory, e is for eMMc memory. I have a demo S5 that came with the eMMc memory but you will want to get the "n" type as that is what the latest firmware expects and does better with. But you will need to remove some parts and change the USB connector. You can steal the USB connector from your old broken board. or maybe you can't???
You can save some money by ordering the UM3 olimex and put it in your S5 but you have to change something in the eeprom.
Also if you order the board from olimex it won't have the printer type saved into the eeprom.
I have instructions on how to save the printer type into the eeprom here:
