5.1 Update the firmware

Periodically, a new version of the Ultimaker S3 / S5 firmware is released. To ensure that your Ultimaker S3 / S5 is 

equipped with the latest features it is recommended to keep the firmware updated to the latest version.

Update over the network

If the Ultimaker S3 / S5 is connected to a network, it automatically checks for available firmware updates. When 

a new firmware is available, the printer will prompt you to download and install it via the touchscreen interface. 

Alternatively, check for updates manually by navigating to System 

 Maintenance 

 Update firmware.

Do not power off the printer during the firmware installation.

Update using a USB stick

If your Ultimaker S3 / S5 is not connected to a network, you can update to the latest firmware via USB. The firmware 

files are found on the Ultimaker website:

1. Navigate to 

ultimaker.com/firmware

, and select your printer

2. Download the firmware image and store it in the root directory of your USB stick

3. Insert the USB stick into the USB port of the printer

4. Go to Preferences 

 Maintenance 

 Update firmware and select the new firmware in the update menu

5.2 Material handling and storage

Opened material spools must be stored properly when not in use. If material is stored incorrectly, it may affect its 

quality and usability.

The optimal storage temperature for PLA, Tough PLA, Nylon, CPE, CPE+, PC, TPU 95A, PP, and Breakaway is between 

-20 to +30 °C. For ABS, the advised temperature is between 15 and 25 °C, and for PVA 0 to 30 °C. Furthermore, 

a relative humidity of below 50% is recommended for PVA, TPU 95A, PP, and Breakaway. If these materials are 

exposed to a higher humidity, the quality of the material can be affected.

To keep your materials in optimal condition, opened spools should be stored:

•  Cool and dry

•  Out of direct sunlight

•  In a resealable bag

To minimize moisture absorption, store the material in a resealable bag including the supplied desiccant (silica 

gel) directly after printing.
