Hi everyone,

I've just ordered my Ultimaker over a week ago and eagerly await its arrival. So much to learn in the meantime however. Look forward to accessing peoples experience on this user forum in the months to come. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Graeme and welcome.

    I live down the road at Caves Beach (Near Newcastle).

    It's a fun hobby.

    Plenty to read in the forums and check out Thingiverse while you're waiting.

    Have fun.

    Hi Graeme, Owen and Daniel,

    I'm planning to order my UM in the next few weeks. Through all the hard work of UM and the excellent community, the UM hardware/software seems to be getting stable enough for me to be able to use it for work, without being diverted into spending too much time tinkering with the UM itself. As I'm likely to want to print in ABS too (as well as PLA), I'd love it if UM offered a heated bed solution for ABS....hopefully soon, or maybe I need to source that elsewhere? I was also really after the taller Ultimaker+ but that development seems to have been deferred by UM - not sure to when?

    Graeme - where are you based in Sydney? Maybe we could meet up. I'm in Willoughby. Not too far from Owen either (~100km)...bit further to Daniel!

    Cheers,

    Marc

      • 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.
