Only 1.75 and 2.85 material diameter works.

I need 3mm and 10mm for my Project.
If I enter 3mm, only 3.85mm is calculated, although 3mm is set.
If I set 2mm, then 1.75mm is used. If there are only 2 variants, why don't you make a drop down list out of them!?

    Go to the MarketPlace and load the plugin "Printer Settings".  One of the settings it has is "Diameter".  Set your filament diameter there and you should be good.

    When I set the diameter in the Machine Settings dialog to 4.0 and then checked the Printer Settings, it was indeed listed as 2.85.

    Setting the diameter in Printer Settings fixed the problem and all the E numbers in the gcode were correct.

     

    This looks like a bug to me.  It would seem that when one box is changed that the other should update and the "material_diameter" should update either way.  That didn't happen.  You can go over to Github and put in a bug report.  Zipping a project file would be good and provide information to start an investigation.

      • 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.
