I'm planning to print objects at once, but i have to set my print head size. Is there any image o visual guide of how of this mesurement is to be made? I don't get the meaning of size toward something. I suppose the whole block, but just to be sure ;) ! Thanks in advice.

    If you hover your mouse over the settings it will explain it. It's simply a measurement of the size of the head from the tip of the nozzle in each direction.

    So to take the Ultimaker as an example. "Head size towards X min" would be the size of the head measured from the tip of the nozzle towards the left side of the printer.

      • 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.
