Yes of course, I just did an material unload, a load and a material change, it happens every time. The exported log is attached below. I did an export every time but only uploaded the latest one, if you need the other ones too, I can also upload these.
Hi, I have exactly the same problem with an Ultimaker S5 R1. The printhead does not corretly move to home after loading material 1 since firmware 8.1.0 and needs to be returned to home manually by the service menu.
Moreover the LED of Printcore 2 is not working since the update to version 8.x.x (not blue when cold and not organge when hot, LED2 is always off - it could also be defect, but is exactly the since the update to version 8.1.0 - in the photo from glx this could also be the case, because LED2 seems to be off).
In addition to the removal of really essential features (see other topics), there unfortunately seem to be several bugs in firmware 8. This is very disappointing, since the last firmware 7 (7.1.3) was working fine. I haven't had time to downgrade yet and still hope for an improved firmware 8 without those errors and recalled features.
@mscho, yeah one LED is off, but I have only printed with one material loaded since I updated to 8.x.x, so I didn't think much about it. The LED is also solid green after the material is loaded (instead of the usual blue-ish), they did change something on the LEDs tho (I did read it here: What do the different light colors mean on print cores? (makerbot.com) the note below says it can be different, so I guess something was changed here).
I think you cannot downgrade (at least not easily) after upgrading to an 8-version, that was mentioned in a release note of one of the updates.
yes, i cannot follow what this new firmware is doing, the lights are now just green, the second extruder has no lights even when its hot from the bed probing. The head parks on the right now after loading material, but on the left overwise.
Doesn't seem like these are intended changes ??

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
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 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.-

Hi @glx,
It is a bit difficult to troubleshoot this without the log files. Could you please share the log files from when this happened? You can find how to export the logs files here.
