Printing with Cura Connect
The Ultimaker 3 offers the possibility to print over a network, either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. This can be done with Cura
Connect in Ultimaker Cura when your Ultimaker 3 and computer are connected to the same network.
To use Cura Connect your Ultimaker 3 should be equipped with firmware version 4.0 or higher.
To start a print via Cura Connect, take the following steps:
1. Connect your Ultimaker 3 to the network (if not done yet) via Wi-Fi or Ethernet:
• Wi-Fi: Install Wi-Fi by going to System g Network g Run WiFi setup and follow the steps on the display.
• Ethernet: Connect the LAN cable to socket on the back side of the Ultimaker 3.
2. Enable Wi-Fi or Ethernet in the network menu.
3. In Ultimaker Cura go to Settings g Printers g Manage printers.
4. Click on the "Connect via network" button.
5. Select your Ultimaker from the list of printers that are shown and click "Connect" . This printer is now the Cura Connect
host.
6. Slice your 3D model in Ultimaker Cura.
7. Press "Print over network" to start the print.
Once the print is running you can monitor it by opening the "Monitor" tab at the top of the screen in Ultimaker
Cura. This allows you to view the progress of your prints and to control your Ultimaker 3('s) from a distance.
When sending multiple print jobs, Cura Connect will automatically add them to a queue.
