Brand new Ultimaker 5, updated to latest firmware, XT calibration spot on

All Ultimaker PLA.

Making a small display model of half a wacky building exterior to display on studio wall shelf, going to be 6 each of 5 different 2-colour prints at least. first tests very wobbly near end of print with standard supports, went back to Xmas special trees

Spotted daylight through cracks on 1st attempt to print, aborted, checked model, checked XY calibration, resliced with 'built-in 'vVsual - Extra Fine', crossed my fingers and ran over long weekend (4 1/2 days - keeping an eye in Cura monitor and with a RingCam to check for filament run outs.

Still got at least one gap in every print.

2nd run waiting to go for the Yellow/Blue half.

STL files merged and scaled to 150%

      • 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.
