Sounds great, If this improvements works I will definitively buy another Zortrax. The Infill problems were the only reason keeping me from buying a second unit.
Sweet! errr..how bout the feature to stop the print job properly without the need to switch of the power button? Or is it should be in the firmware? Sorry, i am not well verse with thing like this.

The current firmware has this feature, but poorly implemented. You have to hold the printer button in for 10 seconds in order to abort or pause a print. 10 seconds is a very long time if your printer is malfunctioning (or even if it's not), and the abort function is not implemented (AFAIK) for other operations like load/unload filament, heat extruder, etc. There is no global "Stop All Now" function. Hopefully this will be implemented in the future when we have a proper PC-based UI.

Huh? I didn't know bout the '10 seconds button'.Thanks Julia and hopefully they will take note of the things you mentioned because even the open source software have it.
You think that it is possible to add information how much material left (length or cm3)?. It is hard to calculate if it's enough material for next print.
I'd like to see the 10 sec pause/stop option reduced to 3 sec. Or possibly instant, if it leads to a confirmation screen, so as to avoid accidental presses.

There is a feature for this on the Up, but I find it is never useful to me the way I use my printers. You enter the weight of the spool when you change spools and then the printer tracks how much is used and warns you if there is not enough for any print job. I guess this is useful if you always keep the same color/material on your machine, but personally I change colors very frequently and having to weigh the spool and enter the number each time is a bother and I don't do it. Z-Suite does give the material requirement so if you are concerned you can weigh your spool before a print to verify if you have enough.
I throw this in there... is it possible to have multi resolution (layer thickness) in the same print?
I dont know what software and hardware might have to do in order to achieve this, but in my mind if it would be possible to do such a thing, it would be useful in terms of printing time and material used.
For instance if I have to print a human figure, I would want say 0.100 mm in smooth/larger areas (legs, chest) and 0.05 mm in areas with smaller features (head/hands/feet)
What I also hope for is that the warmup speeds are reduced or at least the cool down delayed.... I'm spending so much time just waiting for stuff to heat and reheat...especially when changing filament
