[3D Printing News] Ultimaker 3 Firmware Upgrade - 4.0 New Workflow
We're always looking for ways to make the 3D printing experience accessible to everyone . According to Ultimaker's new software strategy, updating to firmware 4.0 will expand the functionality of your Ultimaker 3.
At the same time, exciting new features, such as Cura Connect , will be added and improved.
Highlights of Firmware Version 4.0
Cura Connect. This firmware update will add Cura Connect to your Ultimaker 3 – a new feature that allows you to control multiple Ultimaker 3 printers from a single interface.
Learn more about Cura Connect from our launch article.
Frame light notification. When Ultimaker 3 requires user action, the frame light will cycle through brightness levels from 30% to 100% to indicate that user action is needed. This occurs in the following situations:
• Authentication required - When the printer requires user operation (e.g., connecting to Ultimaker Cura or adding to a new group in Cura Connect).
• Configuration Changes - When the next print job requires changes to the printer configuration (e.g., changing the filament or print nozzles).
• Print completed - When the print job is complete, the system will prompt the user to clear the print platform to prepare for the next print job.
Reprint after abort. When printing is aborted, a new dialog box will appear on the Ultimaker 3 interface, offering the option to retry printing.
Network Interface. When using a browser to connect to the IP address of the listing machine to manage Cura Connect jobs, a webpage (with useful links) will be displayed.
Cancel the guided tour. The Active Leveling Guide now includes an option to cancel in case of accidental selection.
Newly added gcode files. Newly added gcode files are now displayed as a separate option in the list for printing from USB.
Updates are now faster. Printer installations now update much more quickly.
New material configuration file. The material configuration file has been updated to 0.8 print nozzle.
USB logging. In the event of a critical error, the loaded log and messages will be written directly to the USB (if available) for troubleshooting.
Effective material change. Material change is made more efficient by heating the print nozzle as quickly as possible.
Major bug fixes
Z-offset. The option to manually adjust the Z-offset of the second print nozzle has been removed. This can now be done using manual balancing.
