The quality i select doesnt apply to the 3d printer when it does print.(why is that?)

and also sometimes when the object is nearly finished (50%) the 3d printer stops printing and prints in the sky.

Why is that ?

    When you say "the quality", are you talking about the layer height?  You can override the layer height so you should always check that and if you don't want to override it, make sure that you did not override it.

     

    For the one that was "printing in the sky", please post a picture of what things looked like when you first noticed it printing in the sky but before you cleaned up the build plate.  I can think of about 5 different possibilites of what you are talking about but one is easy to check now - look in the PREVIEW pane of cura and see if it is skipping layers.

     

    More likely though your part got loose and wasn't sticking to the glass well.  If this is the case my first question is: what material were you printing?

      • 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.
