Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle user manual 19
3.5 Firmware update
After completing the welcome setup, the Ultimaker S5 will check if the latest rmware is installed as a nal step.
If an older version is detected, it will download the latest rmware and install it. This process may take several
minutes to complete.
You will only be prompted to install the latest rmware if the printer is connected to a network and an older
rmware version is detected. Visit ultimaker.com/rmware to check if the latest version is currently installed.
The Material Station and Air Manager will only function correctly when your Ultimaker S5 is running rmware that
supports them. Using an unsupported rmware version may cause damage to your printer.
3.6 Install Ultimaker Cura
After successfully setting up your printer, please install Ultimaker Cura – Ultimaker’s free print preparation and
management software – on your computer. You can download Ultimaker Cura at ultimaker.com/software.
For more information about Ultimaker Cura and system requirements, please consult the Ultimaker Cura user
manual at ultimaker.com/manuals
After downloading, run the installer to complete the installation of Ultimaker Cura. When opening Ultimaker Cura
for the rst time, you will be asked to select your 3D printer. Select the Ultimaker S5 prole, and you are ready to
go. You can now directly connect to the printer and start using Ultimaker Cura.
For best printing results, always use the latest version of Ultimaker Cura (version 4.3 and above)
3.7 External ventilation (optional)
The Ultimaker S5 Air Manager can be connected to an external exhaust system. At the back of the Air Manager,
holes in the cover facilitate this. The accessory box of the Ultimaker S5 includes four M4x16 bolts, four M4 lock nuts,
and a 2.5 mm hex key. These can be used for the installation.
1. Download the airow connector STL from ultimaker.com and print it
2. Insert the four lock nuts into the recesses in the airow connector
3. Open the Air Manager cover
4. Insert the four bolts from the inside through the holes in the cover of the Air Manager
5. Align the airow connector with the bolts and use the 2.5 mm hex key to secure the connector to the Ultimaker
S5 Air Manager’s cover
6. Connect your ventilation system to the airow connector
The implemented fan control will not interact with the external exhaust system. It may be necessary to tune the
airow of the external system. An airow of 50m
3
/h is recommended when the fan is running at top speed. A
hose guided outside (not attached to a ventilation system) is also supported. A diameter of >120 mm and a
maximum length of 2 m are recommended.
