Maintenance overview S5

[schmierfink 0]

Hello,
We have an S5 bundle. 
I remember that there was always a maintenance overview. Since the update, I can no longer find it. I have not found this information in the API either.

Where is this function now?
Has it been accidentally removed from the firmware?

This is a very useful function. After all, you can use it to check to some extent that the printer is working reliably.

Best regards

A lot of the functionality of the user management console was gutted in the 8.1.0 firmware update. They restored a bit of it after community backlash, but the maintenance overview and printer statistics have not been reintroduced. They *might* be in the digital factory environment, but I do not use this myself.

 

Edit: the thread that talked about the changes at the time

Thank you for your quick reply.

That is somehow not satisfying. At my company, the admins won't let the printer into the cloud.  It is really hard to understand why functions are removed without communication. The plan at the time was to spend more on the printer and get rid of the tinkering solutions. That means I can now create Excel tables to manage the maintenance, so now I'm back to tinkering with solutions - I'm happy 😞 .

Thank you for the thread. I would also assume that people should be pushed into the cloud. Maintenance is still included with the air filter - somehow this is inconsistent.

 

Dear development team,

I would be very happy if the maintenance page is available again or the data becomes available via the API. Otherwise, in my case, new firmware versions are a clear step backwards.

https://support.ultimaker.com/s/article/1667410781982 - It was published here at the time, just like all firmware update release notes. (Currently shown under the accordion of "Archive - Latest Channel") it was front and center at the time of the update.

@Dastin, thanks for the link.
I came from version 8.0. I didn't read through all the release notes.
So far, I have never had a product where the range of functions has deteriorated due to updates. But I never stop learning.

 

You're right, it's in the release notes. I suspect these functionalities will not return. But it's still crap because I now have to change the way I work or downgrade the box.

 

I am not happy with this development.
