Refactored existing Ultimaker 2 profile to remove repeated values and changed some values to the new updated Cura values.

Added the Ultimaker 2 DXUv2 mod.
Added all Ultimaker S-line printers.

The Ultimaker Griffin Gcode header required by the Ultimaker S-line printers is created in the start G-code.
Users of Ultimaker S-line printers may need to manually remove the PrusaSlicer added header from the G-code before sending it to the printer because the Ultimaker S-line printers check for the ; generated by PrusaSlicer on the first line and will say that the G-code file has an "error" if found.

I tested this profile to work with a dual color print on an Ultimaker S7. The S3, S5, and S7 are the same besides for the difference in build volume.

  • Can I ask for the reason, why are all three S printers grouped to one printer called "S-line"?
  • There are no print profiles available for Ultimaker S3/S5 and S7.
  • max_layer_height and min_layer_height cannot be specified within print profiles (it belongs to printer profile).
  • index file should look like this (2.6.0 is the first version which can add new printers via on-line update):
min_slic3r_version = 2.6.0
1.1.0 Refactored code to have remove duplicate values and match some updated Cura values. Adds Ultimaker 2 DXUv2 mod. Adds Ultimaker S-line printers (S3, S5, S7)
min_slic3r_version = 2.4.0-beta0
1.0.2 Fixed start g-code.
1.0.1 Updated start g-code.
1.0.0 Initial version

  1. I grouped all the S printers into one initial category because their mechanical operation and software is the same. The only difference between the models is: S3 has smaller bed size and S7 has a pei buildplate.
  2. The print profile settings (separate from the printer specific settings like bed volume) are identical between the printers due to 1. I added the printers like [printer:Ultimaker S3] in the ini. Does there need to be a duplicate of the same print profile between each of them?

3 & 4. I updated the files like you said.

I see, but I imagine if I owned one of those printers, for example S3, I would prefer to see only the S3 (and possibly other printers I actually have) in the printer profile selection, not S3, S5, S7. It is basically only about adding two extra thumbnails and simple change in the ini file, but I guess it can stay as "S-line" group.

That is not what I meant- There are literally no print profiles available for S3/S5/S7 (it is not possible to slice anything). Existing print profiles are set to be compatible only with Ultimaker 2 (printer_model=="ULTIMAKER2" and nozzle_diameter[0]==0.4)

@rtyr Got it, I updated the print profiles to include the Sline printers.

I also added better thumbnails so the printers are "facing" the same angle in the pictures.
