Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/UMS8:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description A game-changer in the realm of professional 3D printing. Designed to meet the increasing demands of engineers, designers, and innovators, the S8 combines speed, precision, and versatility to elevate your printing and prototyping experience. Using the lessons from the previous UltiMaker printers, the S8 is the top of the line in their S-Series printers. We recommend adding the [Material Station](https://core-electronics.com.au/ultimaker-s5-material-station.html), to make [the UltiMaker S8 Pro Bundl](https://core-electronics.com.au/ultimaker-s8-pro-bundle-3d-printer.html)e ### Key Features **Updated Motion Planner for Increased Productivity** At the heart of the S8 lies the revolutionary UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner. This system enables printing speeds of up to 500 mm/s and acceleration up to 50,000 mm/s², effectively quadrupling productivity compared to previous models. Despite these impressive speeds, the S8 maintains exceptional print quality with dimensional accuracy of ±0.15 mm ± 0.15% of feature nominal length. **Dual-Extrusion System** Unlock limitless possibilities with the S8's dual-extrusion design. This system allows you to combine any two materials, regardless of their differences, facilitating the creation of complex, multi-material parts with minimal waste and high reliability. With access to over 300 compatible materials, your designs are only limited by your imagination. **New High-Flow Print Cores and Improved Feeder System** Equipped with new AA+ and CC+ print cores featuring a quad-chamber design, the S8 achieves 2.5x more flow, ensuring cleaner prints and efficient material extrusion. The updated hardened feeder module, inherited from Factor 4, offers improved grip and better material control at high speeds, enhancing overall print reliability. **Flexible PEI-Coated Build Plate** Say goodbye to the hassle of glue and difficult part removal. The S8's PEI-coated flexible build plate is secured with 25 magnets and 4 pins for perfect alignment, allowing effortless part removal and reducing setup time. **Integrated EPA Filter for Enhanced Safety** Prioritizing your safety, the S8 features an integrated EPA filter that has been independently tested to remove up to 95% of ultrafine particles. Combined with a fully enclosed build chamber, this ensures a safer working environment and improved print quality.. **Seamless Integration with UltiMaker Ecosystem** The S8 seamlessly integrates with UltiMaker's Digital Factory and Cura software, streamlining every step of your 3D printing workflow -from ordering filament, putting it in the printer, slicing, file management and maintenance. This ecosystem is designed to be scalable, making it suitable for any team or enterprise aiming to enhance efficiency. ### Dimensions | Build volume | 330 x 240 x 300 mm (13 x 9.4 x 11.8 inches) | |---|---| | Assembled dimensions | W 495 x D 585 x H 800 mm (W 19.5 x D 23 x H 31.5 inches) | | Print technology | Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) | | Compatible filament diameter | 2.85 mm | | Weight | 29.1 kg (64.2 lbs) | | Maximum power output | 500 W | | Dimensional accuracy | ±0.15 mm ±0.15% feature nominal length\* | | Extrusion flow | Up to 35 mm³/s | | XY speed, acceleration, and jerk | Up to 500 mm/s, up to 50,000 mm/s², up to 100,000,000 mm/s³ | ### Printer Properties | Layer resolution | 0.25 mm nozzle: 150 - 60 micron 0.4 mm nozzle: 200 - 20 micron 0.6 mm nozzle: 300 - 20 micron 0.8 mm nozzle: 600 - 20 micron | |---|---| | XYZ resolution | 6.9, 6.9, 2.5 micron | | Feeder type | Dual-geared feeder, reinforced for composite materials | | Display | 4.7-inch (11.9 cm) color touchscreen | | Print core replacement | Swappable print cores | | Print head | Dual extrusion print head with an auto-nozzle lifting system, swappable print cores, and flood detection. | | Nozzle diameters | 0.25 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm | ### Operation Parameters | Filter technology | Replaceable EPA filter | |---|---| | Air extraction rate | 1 - 50 m³/h (35 m³/h nominal rate for most materials at 23 °C) | | Nozzle temperature | Up to 340 °C (644 °F) | | Nozzle heat-up time | < 2 minutes | | Operating sound | < 50 dBA | | Build plate leveling | Advanced active leveling with more accurate inductive sensors | | Build plate | PEI-coated flexible steel build plate | | Build plate heat-up time | < 5 minutes (from 20 to 60 °C) | | Operating ambient temperature | 15 - 32 °C (59 - 90 °F) | | Non-operating temperature | 0 - 32 °C (32 - 90 °F) | ### Ecosystem | Supplied free software | UltiMaker Cura – print preparation software UltiMaker Digital Factory – All-in-one cloud-based print, printer and user management software | |---|---| | Supported OS | MacOS, Windows, and Linux | | Plugin integration | SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Autodesk Inventor | | Supported file types | UltiMaker Cura: STL, OBJ, X3D, 3MF, BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG Printable formats: G, GCODE, GCODE.gz, UFP | | File transfer | Wi-Fi 2.4 & 5 GHz: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac LAN: Gigabit Ethernet USB: 2.0 | ### Documentation and Resources **Printer Details** - [Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/uploads/S8-datasheet.pdf) **Software** - [Ultimaker Cura](https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura) - [Ultimaker Essentials](https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-essentials) - [Ultimaker S7 Support Documentation](https://support.makerbot.com/s/topic/0TO5b000000Q5YcGAK/ultimaker-s7) **Manuals** - [S8 Manual](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/uploads/S8-manual.pdf) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/u/m/um-s8-showcase.jpg)
