1. "Printers":
Connect your Ultimaker 3D printer to view a list of printers that have been paired with your Ultimaker account. You can share any Ultimaker 3D printer through the "Team" feature.
(Select the Ultimaker 3D printer you want to connect.)
Before adding a new Ultimaker 3D printer group, please ensure that the device is powered on, connected to the network, and enter the IP address before starting the connection.
2. "Teams":
Managing the Ultimaker 3D printer involves creating a work team and inviting other users with Ultimaker accounts to join. All team members can be viewed in the Teams interface.
When connecting your Ultimaker 3D printer to the Ultimaker Cloud for the first time, you must use a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection; the firmware of your Ultimaker S5 or Ultimaker 3 3D printer must be updated to 5.2.8 or higher, and Ultimaker Cura must be updated to 4.0 or higher.
1. Add the network-connected Ultimaker 3D printer to the Ultimaker Cura.
2. Log in to Ultimaker Cura using your Ultimaker account.
(Method 1) Using Ultimaker Cura
(After adding the Ultimaker 3D printer in Ultimaker Cura, a blue checkmark will appear in the menu.)
Log in to your Ultimaker account in the upper right corner of Ultimaker Cura (you can also create a new account here if you don't already have one).
Ultimaker Cura will automatically detect the Ultimaker 3D printer in the cloud. A notification window will appear in the interface. Select "Get Start" to begin connecting to Ultimaker Cloud.
(Method 2) Using Ultimaker Connect
1. Enter Monitor mode in Ultimaker Cura and connect using Ultimaker Connect.
2. Select "Go to Ultimaker Connect".
3. Click the gear icon in the menu to access the Ultimaker Connect options settings.
4. Click "Connect" to connect to Ultimaker Cloud.
1. Log in with your Ultimaker account
2. Selecting "Allow" allows Ultimaker Connect and Ultimaker Cloud to read and exchange data with each other in the interface.
3. Enter the security verification PIN code displayed on the touchscreen of the Ultimaker 3D printer .
4. Enable Ultimaker Cura to connect.
Once the connection is confirmed to be successful, Ultimaker Cura will display a notification, allowing you to start remotely previewing the surveillance footage and setting up 3D printing jobs.
