4.1 Touchscreen
You can control the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle by using the touchscreen at the front of the printer.
When turned on for the first time the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle will run the welcome setup. After this, the main
menu will be shown when turning the printer on.
Interface
The main menu offers three options, represented by the following icons:
The status overview is automatically shown next to the main menu. From here, you can start a print from USB
or view the progress of the print while printing.
The configuration overview shows the current configuration of the printer. Here you can see which print cores
and materials are installed, as well as change the configuration.
The preferences overview consists of three sub-menus: settings, maintenance, and network. In the printer
settings menu you can change general settings, such as the language. In the maintenance menu, the
most important maintenance and calibration procedures can be performed, in addition to saving logs for
diagnostics. The network menu allows you to change network settings or perform the Wi-Fi setup.
4.2 Materials
Material compatibility
The Ultimaker S5 comes with two AA print cores and one BB print core. The AA print cores can be used for
printing build materials and Breakaway support material. The BB print core can be used for water-soluble
support material (PVA).
The Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle supports all Ultimaker materials that are currently available, of which most can
be printed with the 0.25, 0.4, and 0.8 mm print core sizes. The print core CC Red 0.6 can be used for third-party
composite materials.
For an overview of possible dual-extrusion material combinations, please refer to the Ultimaker website.
All Ultimaker materials have been extensively tested and have optimized profiles in Ultimaker Cura to ensure
the best print results. Therefore, for the highest reliability, it is advised to use one of the default profiles in
Ultimaker Cura. Using Ultimaker materials will also allow you to benefit from the NFC detection system. Ultimaker
spools will be automatically recognized by the Ultimaker S5 Material Station. This information can be directly
transferred to Ultimaker Cura when connected to a network, for a seamless connection between the printer and
Ultimaker Cura software.
Spools with the following dimensions are compatible with the Material station:
• Width: 50 - 70 mm (2 - 2.7 in)
• Diameter: 197 - 203 mm (7.8 – 8 in)
• Core diameter: > 98 mm (3.8 in)
