Posted · Cannot connect to networked S5 from Cura but can view print queue from web browser

I'm having a curious issue with a 6 month old Ultimaker S5. Until yesterday I could submit all my prints from Cura over the network. Today it stopped working. The printer is still networked and I can connect to it via a web browser to view the current print — including the live webcam view — plus the print queue. But I cannot do the same from Cura, nor find the printer when searching.

 

So I'm a bit stumped as nothing as changed in our configuration as far as I can see. But from both Mac and Windows I have the same issue: both are running Cura 4.11.

 

How do I resolve this?

    There is an issue that was fixed about a year ago and it actually makes sense to have started recently (maybe).  What version is your S5 firmware?

    The S5 firmware is version 6.1.1.

     

    Good news though: the printer seems to have come back to life! Or maybe never went away...

     

    I tried connecting again to the printer from both my Windows PC and my Mac and…nothing. Could still see it in the web browser but absolutely nothing from Cura. So I updated Cura from 4.11 to 5.0 on my Mac and…still nothing. Manage printer? No, nothing showing up. Add printer? No printers listed. But it does then give you the option to add one by IP address. And since I know the IP address…

    Voila! Back it comes! And on the old version of Cura as well as the new one. So I’m no nearer to understanding what the hell has happened but just glad to start abusing the print queue again…

    this is an issue we encounter as well around 1 to 2 times a month, pretty easy to solve for us at least,

    Just turn of the printer and turn it back on around 20sec later, restart Cura after that and there is the printer again.

     

    I always thought it was due to the IT security but perhaps a issue with the S5 it self.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released

        UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released

        ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7

        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.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄

        Cura 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.
