1. "Printers":
Connect your Ultimaker 3D printer. This section will display a record of printers previously paired with your Ultimaker account. Any Ultimaker 3D printer can be shared via the "Team" function.
(Select the Ultimaker 3D printer you want to connect.)
Before adding an Ultimaker 3D printer group, ensure the device is powered on and connected to the internet. Then, enter the IP address to begin the connection.
2. "Teams":
Manage your Ultimaker 3D printers. After creating a team, you can invite other users with Ultimaker accounts to join. All team members will be visible in the Teams interface.
When connecting your Ultimaker 3D printer to Ultimaker Cloud for the first time, you must use a Wi-Fi or wired network 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 your network-connected Ultimaker 3D printer to Ultimaker Cura.
2. Log in to Ultimaker Cura with your Ultimaker account.
(Method 1) Using Ultimaker Cura
(After adding your Ultimaker 3D printer in Ultimaker Cura, a blue checkmark will appear in the menu.)
Log in to your Ultimaker account in the top right corner of Ultimaker Cura (you can also create a new account here if you don't have one).
Ultimaker Cura will automatically detect the Ultimaker 3D printer in the cloud, and a notification window will appear in the interface. Select "Get Started" to connect to Ultimaker Cloud.
