Print recommendations
Each material requires different settings for optimal results. When using UltiMaker Cura and UltiMaker materials,
the print settings are automatically updated based on the selected print cores and material(s).
Tip: For detailed instructions on which settings and adhesion methods to use per UltiMaker material, visit
the material support pages on support.ultimaker.com.
When using third-party materials, check the UltiMaker Marketplace for the latest print profiles. Synchronize
installed profiles with your printer via Digital Factory or USB.
Tip: To benefit from the automatic material switching during a print when a spool runs out, it is
recommended to have at least two spools of the same material loaded into the Material Station.
4.3 Preparing a print
Use UltiMaker Cura to prepare your prints. If you have not already done so, add your UltiMaker Factor 4 to Cura
via Digital Factory for an optimal workflow. Alternatively, select the UltiMaker Factor 4 manually from the list of
non-networked printers.
