【3D Printing News】Latest Firmware 5.2 Released, Most Practical with Cura 4.0!
Updating your new Ultimaker 3D printer firmware to version 5.2 allows you to enjoy the cloud features of Ultimaker Cloud, and also combines with Cura 4.0 slicing software to improve many 3D printing performances.
Remote Printing
Previously, we introduced the remote printing feature in Cura 4.0. Please note that this applies to Ultimaker 3 or Ultimaker S5 3D printers, and each Ultimaker account can connect to one 3D printer.

Automatic Calibration
The new firmware improves the efficiency of active calibration on the Ultimaker S5. Instead of detecting the entire print bed, it evaluates the print area of the object before printing begins and skips unused nozzles to speed up the process, improving the success rate of 3D printing. To use this feature, you need to prepare prints with Ultimaker Cura 4.0 or higher.
Sensor Diagnostics
The new version adds level sensor diagnostics for Ultimaker 3 and Ultimaker S5 3D printers, which can detect whether the capacitive sensor in the print head is in optimal condition and indicate whether maintenance is required: (a) sensor working normally (b) signal interference detected (c) sensor needs maintenance.
Improved Experience
More details on user experience include: Filament run-out detection settings are now embedded in UFP files, making Ultimaker S5's run-out detection more accurate; reducing the noise of the build plate lowering after printing is complete, the internal light of the Ultimaker S5 can now be completely turned off, and for TPU material settings, the heated bed temperature for TPU filament is improved during XY calibration to increase stability. Updating software and firmware is crucial for the proper operation of 3D printers. In case of sudden errors, please ensure your software and firmware are up to date, and we recommend setting them to auto-update.
*Please note: The new 5.2 firmware update is applicable to Ultimaker 3 and Ultimaker S5 3D printers. If you are using a 3D printer model below this version, we still recommend enabling auto-update to get the latest firmware for that model.
