4.2 Materials
Material compatibility
The Ultimaker S3 / 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 S3 / S5 support 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, it is advised to use one of the default profiles in Ultimaker Cura for the highest
reliability. Using Ultimaker materials will also allow you to benefit from the NFC detection system. Ultimaker
spools will automatically be recognized by the Ultimaker S3 / S5. This information can be directly transferred
to Ultimaker Cura when connected to a network, allowing for a seamless connection between the printer and
Ultimaker Cura software.
Print recommendations
Each material requires different settings for optimal results. If you use Ultimaker Cura to prepare your model, these
settings are automatically set correctly if the correct print core(s) and material(s) are selected.
It is recommended to apply a thin layer of glue (using the glue stick from the accessory box) or an adhesion sheet
to the glass build plate before starting a print. This will ensure that your print adheres reliably to the build plate,
and also prevents the glass build plate from chipping when removing prints.
For detailed instructions on which settings and adhesion method to use per material, take a look at the material
manuals on the Ultimaker website.
