Posted · Regarding Power consumption data

I am working as a student Research assistant at TU Braunschweig. I am currently working on Ultimaker - S5 printer and in which my task is to get the power consumption of the printer during its usage. So, does anyone here can help me or guide me on how could I get or access the data?

    I would have to agree with gr5 on the statement of using a power meter and collecting your own measurements. 

    Overall power consumption of the S5 is subjective to environment (how cold/hot the room is) and what materials your printing and if you have an air manager installed etc.
    The machine will always pull the most power during its pre-heat cycles.. and then bottom out 20min or so into the print job itself.

    For starting reference the S5 has a 24v 500w power supply - so it wont pull beyond that at full power.

      • 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.
