UltiMaker S8 — Technical data

Since 2025 the S8 has been the top model of the S series and follows the S7, adopting its housing and 330 × 240 × 300 mm build volume. The main changes are the Cheetah motion planner and the high-flow AA+ and CC+ cores, which together allow travel speeds up to 500 mm/s and 35 mm³/s throughput. The nozzle reaches 340 °C, and printing takes place on a flexible PEI steel plate with inductive levelling. The Air Manager with EPA filter is built in; the Material Station with six spools is optional or part of the Pro Bundle.

When buying a used S8, clarify where the print cores come from, as older AA and CC cores only run pre-sliced jobs. Print hours and filter runtime can be read on the device; a filter that is due belongs in the price negotiation. The printer must be released from the previous owner's Digital Factory, otherwise it cannot be registered to your own account. If a Material Station is included, test its NFC reader and spool detection separately and compare the firmware versions of both units.
