Upgrade your Ultimaker 3 to firmware version 4.3 to get the latest features and a better Cura Connect experience.
The latest firmware version provides your hardware with new, easy-to-use features and better integration between Cura Connect and Ultimaker Cura.
●Control the Ultimaker 3 interface using a wired USB mouse
●Pause, resume, and abort jobs directly from Cura Connect
●Monitor and control USB-initiated jobs via Cura Connect
New Embedded Features
Connect a mouse
You can now plug a wired USB mouse into the Ultimaker 3's USB slot to act as an alternative to the Ultimaker 3's front panel button. Move the mouse in the X/Y direction to navigate menus, then left-click the mouse to confirm your selection.
Inspired by our community, we added this feature to make it easier for users with physical disabilities, who may find it difficult to use the Ultimaker 3's buttons to make precise selections.
New Cura Connect Features
Extended Language Support. With the help of our community, we have expanded Cura Connect's language support to include English, Italian, French, Spanish, German, Simplified Chinese, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Turkish, and Polish, making it easily accessible to users worldwide. The display language for Cura Connect is affected by your browser's language settings – to view in another language, simply change your browser's language.
Optimized JavaScript bundle.js. The size of JavaScript bundle.js has been reduced, speeding up Cura Connect's page loading time for a better user experience.
Material Color and Type. Jobs sliced for generic materials can now be printed on any grouped printer with a compatible material type, regardless of brand or color. This approach is more consistent with Ultimaker Cura's slicing behavior.
Pause, Resume, and Abort. Jobs can be paused, resumed, or aborted within Cura Connect, providing users with remote control.
Manage Jobs. Previously, only jobs submitted from Ultimaker Cura's "Print over network" function could be registered in the Cura Connect interface. With this update, jobs started from USB and jobs re-printed after failure can be registered, including the ability to view messages or pause.
Custom Confirmation Dialogs. Previous versions of Cura Connect used default JavaScript dialogs. The new version has been replaced with new custom pop-up components, aligning the language, look, and feel with Ultimaker Cura for a better user experience.
Mobile View. The mobile view has been optimized for clear display on small screens.
Firmware Version Visibility. The firmware version for each printer in a group can now be seen on the printer details page, providing users with a centralized overview of firmware updates.
Bug Fixes
●Implemented new rules to prevent printers from being added to groups they already belong to
●Fixed various issues where group hosts could be "stolen" and added to other groups
●Fixed a bug where "move to top" or "override configuration" options did not work when re-working
●Stopped Microsoft Edge browser from formatting IP addresses as phone numbers
●Fixed a bug where starting Cura Connect would automatically restart the last object if the printer lost power during the "clear print bed" prompt
Make the Most of Your Ultimaker 3
When your printer is connected to the network, you can easily update the firmware on your Ultimaker 3.
Simply navigate to System > Maintenance > Update Firmware > Official Release, then wait for the update process to complete.
