Load materials
Before you can start printing on the Ultimaker S3 / S5, you need to load materials into the printer. For the rst use,
it is recommended to use the spools of Tough PLA and PVA that come with the printer.
Load material 2
Material 2 will be loaded rst because it must be placed closest to the back of the printer. Select Material 2 from the
list shown on the touchscreen, select Start, then take the following steps to load the material:
1. Unpack the material and cut o the end, ensuring a short, sharp tip
2. Place the spool with material 2 (PVA) onto the spool holder and select Conrm. Make sure the end of the
material points in a clockwise direction, so that the material can enter feeder 2 from the bottom
3. Wait until the printer detects the material and Conrm
When using a third-party material, you can select the material type manually.
4. Insert the end of the material into feeder 2 and gently push it until the feeder grips it and the material is visible
in the Bowden tube. Select Conrm to continue
