Ultimaker 2+ switches off depending on material selection

Great news. Since you already installed tinkermarlin you can do a quick test.
These power bricks tend to fail where they can't put out as much power as they used to. So you can lower your power usage by say 50 watts. In tinkerMarlin there is a feature "power budget". By default it should be:
budget: 175W
bed: 150W
nozzle: 25W
With the above values, the power budget does nothing. Try using the same values as above but lower the budget to 120W. This difference (175 - 120) should be more than enough for all the servos. If this works then you can increase the budget by 10W every minute until you find the point where the power brick (and printer) reboots. This will prove it's the power brick (in my opinion). Then you can choose to run the printer on a lower power budget (you might have trouble getting the bed hotter than 80C) or you can choose to get a new power brick.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
