Hello.

I have a problem with printing a (.stl) file from Cura with Ultimaker2+ Printer.

When I printed  a (gode file)  from SD card, It has been printed  properly.

Then, I decided to use Cura to slice a model (.stl) and send it via USB to the same  printer. Unfortunately, the printer did not work properly, and the bed  did not move up and there is no heating up of the bed.

I have tried many .stl files, I got the same problem.

Moreover, I printed the same .stl file  with Ultimaker3, it has been printed properly.

 

I would appreciate it if anyone could help me to fix this problem.

Thank you in advance.

    The Ultimaker 2 (and newer) printers don't officially support printing via USB. If you want to print via USB anyway, you have to change the GCode flavor from "Ultimaker 2" to "Marlin". This will - among other things - let you select materials in Cura instead of on this printer. It will also add a start gcode snippet to the gcode, which is missing with the "Ultimaker 2" flavor.

      • 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.
